Hosea 12 Ephraim feedeth on wind , and followeth after the east wind : he daily multiplieth lies and desolation ; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians , and oil is carried into Egypt.

1 H669 Ephraim H7462 [H8802] feedeth H7307 on wind H7291 [H8802] , and followeth H6921 after the east wind H3117 : he daily H7235 [H8686] multiplieth H3577 lies H7701 and desolation H3772 [H8799] ; and they do make H1285 a covenant H804 with the Assyrians H8081 , and oil H2986 [H8714] is carried H4714 into Egypt.

2 H3068 The LORD H7379 hath also a controversy H3063 with Judah H6485 [H8800] , and will punish H3290 Jacob H1870 according to his ways H4611 ; according to his doings H7725 [H8686] will he recompense him.

3 H251 He took his brother H6117 [H8804] by the heel H990 in the womb H202 , and by his strength H8280 [H8804] he had power H430 with God:

4 H7786 [H8799] Yea, he had power H4397 over the angel H3201 [H8799] , and prevailed H1058 [H8804] : he wept H2603 [H8691] , and made supplication H4672 [H8799] to him: he found H1008 him in Bethel H1696 [H8762] , and there he spoke with us;

5 H3068 Even the LORD H430 God H6635 of hosts H3068 ; the LORD H2143 is his memorial.

6 H7725 [H8799] Therefore turn H430 thou to thy God H8104 [H8798] : keep H2617 mercy H4941 and judgment H6960 [H8761] , and wait H430 on thy God H8548 continually.

7 H3667 He is a merchant H3976 , the balances H4820 of deceit H3027 are in his hand H157 [H8804] : he loveth H6231 [H8800] to oppress.

8 H669 And Ephraim H559 [H8799] said H6238 [H8804] , Yet I have become rich H4672 [H8804] , I have found for myself H202 substance H3018 : in all my labours H4672 [H8799] they shall find H5771 no iniquity H2399 in me that were sin.

9 H3068 And I that am the LORD H430 thy God H776 from the land H4714 of Egypt H3427 [H8686] will yet make thee to dwell H168 in tabernacles H3117 , as in the days H4150 of the solemn feast.

10 H1696 [H8765] I have also spoken H5030 by the prophets H7235 [H8689] , and I have multiplied H2377 visions H1819 [H8762] , and used similitudes H3027 , by the ministry H5030 of the prophets.

11 H205 Is there iniquity H1568 in Gilead H7723 ? surely they are vanity H2076 [H8765] : they sacrifice H7794 bulls H1537 in Gilgal H4196 ; yea, their altars H1530 are as heaps H8525 in the furrows H7704 of the fields.

12 H3290 And Jacob H1272 [H8799] fled H7704 into the country H758 of Syria H3478 , and Israel H5647 [H8799] served H802 for a wife H802 , and for a wife H8104 [H8804] he kept sheep.

13 H5030 And by a prophet H3068 the LORD H5927 [H8689] brought H3478 Israel H4714 out of Egypt H5030 , and by a prophet H8104 [H8738] was he preserved.

14 H669 Ephraim H3707 [H8689] provoked him to anger H8563 most bitterly H5203 [H8799] : therefore shall he leave H1818 his blood H2781 upon him, and his reproach H113 shall his Lord H7725 [H8686] return to him.
