[1] When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
He exalted himself in Israel,
but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
[2] Now they sin more and more,
and have made themselves molten images of their silver,
even idols according to their own understanding,
all of them the work of the craftsmen.
They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
[3] Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
like the dew that passes away early,
like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor,
and like the smoke out of the chimney. [4] “Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt;
and you shall acknowledge no god but me,
and besides me there is no savior.
[5] I knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of great drought.
[6] According to their pasture, so were they filled;
they were filled, and their heart was exalted.
Therefore they have forgotten me.
[7] Therefore I am like a lion to them.
Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
[8] I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs,
and will tear the covering of their heart.
There I will devour them like a lioness.
The wild animal will tear them.
[9] You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me,
against your helper.
[10] Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities?
And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
[11] I have given you a king in my anger,
and have taken him away in my wrath.
[12] The guilt of Ephraim is stored up.
His sin is stored up.
[13] The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him.
He is an unwise son,
for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb.
[14] I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.ⓘ
I will redeem them from death!
Death, where are your plagues?
Sheol, where is your destruction?“Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.
[15] Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come,
the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness;
and his spring will become dry,
and his fountain will be dried up.
He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
[16] Samaria will bear her guilt,
for she has rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword.
Their infants will be dashed in pieces,
and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
He exalted himself in Israel,

King James Version
The Only Saviour
[1] When Ephraim H669 spake H1696 trembling, H7578 he exalted H5375 himself in Israel; H3478 but when he offended H816 in Baal, H1168 he died. H4191 [2] And now they sin H2398 more and more, H3254§ and have made H6213 them molten images H4541 of their silver, H3701 and idols H6091 according to their own understanding, H8394 all H3605 of it the work H4639 of the craftsmen: H2796 they say H559 of them, Let the men H120 that sacrifice H2076§ kiss H5401 the calves. H5695 [3] Therefore they shall be as the morning H1242 cloud, H6051 and as the early H7925 dew H2919 that passeth away, H1980 as the chaff H4671 that is driven with the whirlwind H5590 out of the floor, H1637 and as the smoke H6227 out of the chimney. H699 [4] Yet I am the Lord H3068 thy God H430 from the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and thou shalt know H3045 no god H430 but me: H2108 for there is no saviour H3467 beside me. H1115 [5] I did know H3045 thee in the wilderness, H4057 in the land H776 of great drought. H8514§ [6] According to their pasture, H4830 so H3651 were they filled; H7646 they were filled, H7646 and their heart H3820 was exalted; H7311 therefore have they forgotten H7911 me. [7] Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: H7826 as a leopard H5246 by the way H1870 will I observe H7789 them: [8] I will meet H6298 them as a bear H1677 that is bereaved H7909 of her whelps, and will rend H7167 the caul H5458 of their heart, H3820 and there will I devour H398 them like a lion: H3833 the wild H7704 beast H2416§ shall tear H1234 them. [9] O Israel, H3478 thou hast destroyed H7843 thyself; but in me is thine help.§ H5828 [10] I will H165 be thy king: H4428 where H645 is any other that may save H3467 thee in all thy cities? H5892 and thy judges H8199 of whom thou saidst, H559 Give H5414 me a king H4428 and princes? H8269 [11] I gave H5414 thee a king H4428 in mine anger, H639 and took H3947 him away in my wrath. H5678 [12] The iniquity H5771 of Ephraim H669 is bound up; H6887 his sin H2403 is hid. H6845 [13] The sorrows H2256 of a travailing woman H3205 shall come H935 upon him: he is an unwise H2450 son; H1121 for H3588 he should not stay H5975 long H6256§ in the place of the breaking forth H4866 of children. H1121 [14] I will ransom H6299 them from the power H3027§ of the grave; H7585 I will redeem H1350 them from death: H4194 O death, H4194 I will H165 be thy plagues; H1698 O grave, H7585 I will H165 be thy destruction: H6987 repentance H5164 shall be hid H5641 from mine eyes. H5869 [15] Though he be fruitful H6500 among his brethren, H251 an east wind H6921 shall come, H935 the wind H7307 of the Lord H3068 shall come up H5927 from the wilderness, H4057 and his spring H4726 shall become dry, H954 and his fountain H4599 shall be dried up: H2717 he shall spoil H8154 the treasure H214 of all pleasant H2532 vessels. H3627§ [16] Samaria H8111 shall become desolate; H816 for H3588 she hath rebelled H4784 against her God: H430 they shall fall H5307 by the sword: H2719 their infants H5768 shall be dashed in pieces, H7376 and their women with child H2030 shall be ripped up.
