World English Bible Classic
[1] Ephraim feeds on wind,
and chases the east wind.
He continually multiplies lies and desolation.
They make a covenant with Assyria,
and oil is carried into Egypt.
[2] Yahweh also has a controversy with Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
according to his deeds he will repay him.
[3] In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
and in his manhood he contended with God.
[4] Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed;
he wept, and made supplication to him.
He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us—
[5] even Yahweh, the God of Armies.
Yahweh is his name of renown!
[6] Therefore turn to your God.
Keep kindness and justice,
and wait continually for your God. [7] A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand.
He loves to defraud.
[8] Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich.
I have found myself wealth.
In all my wealth they won’t find in me any iniquity that is sin.” [9] “But I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt.
I will yet again make you dwell in tents,
as in the days of the solemn feast.
[10] I have also spoken to the prophets,
and I have multiplied visions;
and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
[11] If Gilead is wicked,
surely they are worthless.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls.
Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.
[12] Jacob fled into the country of Aram.
Israel served to get a wife.
For a wife he tended flocks and herds.
[13] By a prophet Yahweh brought Israel up out of Egypt,
and by a prophet he was preserved.
[14] Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger.
Therefore his blood will be left on him,
and his Lord§ will repay his contempt.

His Past Mercies

[1] Ephraim H669 feedeth H7462 on wind, H7307 and followeth H7291 after the east wind: H6921 he daily H3117 increaseth H7235 lies H3577 and desolation; H7701 and they do make H3772 a covenant H1285 with H5973 the Assyrians, H804 and oil H8081 is carried H2986 into Egypt. H4714 [2] The Lord H3068 hath also a controversy H7379 with H5973 Judah, H3063 and will punish H6485§ Jacob H3290 according to his ways; H1870 according to his doings H4611 will he recompense H7725 him. [3] H853 He took his brother H251 by the heel H6117 in the womb, H990 and by his strength H202 he had power H8280 with H854 God: H430§ [4] yea, he had power H7786 over the angel, H4397 and prevailed: H3201 he wept, H1058 and made supplication H2603 unto H413 him: he found H4672 him in Beth-el, H1008 and there he spake H1696 with us; [5] even the Lord H3068 God H430 of hosts; H6635 the Lord H3068 is his memorial. H2143 [6] Therefore turn H7725 thou to thy God: H430 keep H8104 mercy H2617 and judgment, H4941 and wait H6960 on thy God H430 continually. H8548 [7] He is a merchant, H3667§ the balances H3976 of deceit H4820 are in his hand: H3027 he loveth H157 to oppress. H6231§ [8] And Ephraim H669 said, H559 Yet I am become rich, H6238 I have found me out H4672 substance: H202 in all my labours H3018 they shall find H4672 none iniquity H5771 in me that were sin. H2399 [9] And I that am the Lord H3068 thy God H430 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714 will yet make thee to dwell H3427 in tabernacles, H168 as in the days H3117 of the solemn feast. H4150 [10] I have also spoken H1696 by the prophets, H5030 and I have multiplied H7235 visions, H2377 and used similitudes, H1819 by the ministry H3027§ of the prophets. H5030 [11] Is there iniquity H205 in Gilead? H1568 surely they are vanity: H7723 they sacrifice H2076 bullocks H7794 in Gilgal; H1537 yea, their altars H4196 are as heaps H1530 in the furrows H8525 of the fields. H7704 [12] And Jacob H3290 fled H1272 into the country H7704 of Syria, H758 and Israel H3478 served H5647 for a wife, H802 and for a wife H802 he kept H8104 sheep. [13] And by a prophet H5030 the Lord H3068 brought H5927 H853 Israel H3478 out of Egypt, H4714 and by a prophet H5030 was he preserved. H8104 [14] Ephraim H669 provoked him to anger H3707 most bitterly: H8563§ therefore shall he leave H5203 his blood H1818§ upon H5921 him, and his reproach H2781 shall his Lord H113 return H7725 unto him.
