1 H669 Ephraim H7462 feedeth H7307 on wind, H7291 and followeth H6921 after the east wind: H3117 he continually H7235 multiplieth H3577 lies H7701 and desolation; H3772 and they make H1285 a covenant H804 with Assyria, H8081 and oil H2986 is carried H4714 into Egypt.

2 H3068 Jehovah H7379 hath also a controversy H3063 with Judah, H6485 and will punish H3290 Jacob H1870 according to his ways; H4611 according to his doings H7725 will he recompense him.

3 H990 In the womb H251 he took his brother H6117 by the heel; H202 and in his manhood H8280 he had power H430 with God:

4 H7786 yea, he had power H4397 over the angel, H3201 and prevailed; H1058 he wept, H2603 and made supplication H4672 unto him: he found H1008 him at Beth-el, H1696 and there he spake with us,

5 H3068 even Jehovah, H430 the God H6635 of hosts; H3068 Jehovah H2143 is his memorial name.

6 H7725 Therefore turn H430 thou to thy God: H8104 keep H2617 kindness H4941 and justice, H6960 and wait H430 for thy God H8548 continually.

7 H3667 He is a trafficker, H3976 the balances H4820 of deceit H3027 are in his hand: H157 he loveth H6231 to oppress.

8 H669 And Ephraim H559 said, H6238 Surely I am become rich, H4672 I have found me H202 wealth: H3018 in all my labors H4672 they shall find H5771 in me no iniquity H2399 that were sin.

9 H3068 But I am Jehovah H430 thy God H776 from the land H4714 of Egypt; H3427 I will yet again make thee to dwell H168 in tents, H3117 as in the days H4150 of the solemn feast.

10 H1696 I have also spoken H5030 unto the prophets, H7235 and I have multiplied H2377 visions; H3027 and by the ministry H5030 of the prophets H1819 have I used similitudes.

11 H1568 Is Gilead H205 iniquity? H7723 they are altogether false; H1537 in Gilgal H2076 they sacrifice H7794 bullocks; H4196 yea, their altars H1530 are as heaps H8525 in the furrows H7704 of the field.

12 H3290 And Jacob H1272 fled H7704 into the field H758 of Aram, H3478 and Israel H5647 served H802 for a wife, H802 and for a wife H8104 he kept sheep.

13 H5030 And by a prophet H3068 Jehovah H5927 brought H3478 Israel H4714 up out of Egypt, H5030 and by a prophet H8104 was he preserved.

14 H669 Ephraim H3707 hath provoked to anger H8563 most bitterly: H1818 therefore shall his blood H5203 be left H2781 upon him, and his reproach H113 shall his Lord H7725 return unto him.
