chapter 12
1
Ephraim
feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he
multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians,
and carried oil into Egypt.
2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda,
and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and
according to his devices.
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his
strength he had success with an angel.
4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was
strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel,
and there he spoke with us.
5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his
memorial.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God : keep mercy and
judgment, and hope in thy God always.
7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in
his hand, he hath loved oppression.
8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am be- come rich, I have
found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have
committed.
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of
Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the
feast.
10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have
multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the
prophets.
11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in
Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in
the furrows of the field.
12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel
served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of
Egypt: and he was pre- served by a prophet.
14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his
bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his
reproach unto him.
