\c 12
\q
\v 1 Ephraim feeds on the wind
\q and follows after the east wind.
\q He continually multiplies lies and violence.
\q They make a covenant with Assyria
\q and carry olive oil to Egypt.
\q
\v 2 Yahweh also has a lawsuit against Judah
\q and will punish Jacob for what he has done;
\q he will repay him for his deeds.

\q
\v 3 In the womb Jacob grasped his brother by the heel,
\q and in his manhood he struggled with God.
\q
\v 4 He struggled with the angel and won.
\q He wept and begged for his favor.
\q He met God at Bethel;
\q there God spoke with him.
\s5
\q
\v 5 This is Yahweh, the God of hosts;
\q "Yahweh" is his name to be called on.
\q
\v 6 So turn to your God.
\q Keep covenantal faithfulness and justice,
\q and wait continually for your God.
\s5
\q

\q they love to defraud.
\q

\q I have found wealth for myself.
\q In all my work they will not find any iniquity in me,
\q anything that would be sin."

\v 9 "I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00

\v 10 I spoke to the prophets,
2016-09-16 19:21:38 +00:00
\q and I gave them many visions for you.
\q By the hand of the prophets I gave parables."

\q
\v 11 If there is wickedness in Gilead,
\q surely the people are worthless.
\q In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
\q their altars will be like heaps of stone in the furrows of the fields.
\q
\v 12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram;
\q Israel worked in order to get a wife;
\q and he kept flocks of sheep to get a wife.
\s5
\q
\v 13 Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet,
\q and by a prophet he took care of them.

\v 14 Ephraim has bitterly angered Yahweh.
2016-09-16 19:46:56 +00:00
\q So his Lord will leave his blood on him
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\q and will turn back on him his disgrace.
