1 Ephraim H669 feedeth H7462 VQPMS on wind H7307 NFS , and followeth after H7291 the east wind H6921 NMP : he daily H3117 D-AMS increaseth H7235 lies H3577 and desolation H7701 ; and they do make H3772 a covenant H1285 with H5973 PREP the Assyrians H804 GFS , and oil H8081 is carried H2986 into Egypt H4714 .
2 The LORD H3068 L-EDS hath also a controversy H7379 with H5973 PREP Judah H3063 , and will punish H6485 Jacob H3290 according to his ways H1870 ; according to his doings H4611 will he recompense H7725 VHY3MS him .
3 He took his brother by the heel H6117 in the womb H990 , and by his strength H202 he had power H8280 with H854 PREP God H430 NAME-4MP :
4 Yea , he had power H8280 over H413 PREP the angel H4397 NMS , and prevailed H3201 : he wept H1058 , and made supplication H2603 unto him : he found H4672 him in Bethel H1008 LFS , and there H8033 W-ADV he spoke H1696 VPY3MS with H5973 us ;
5 Even the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS God H430 CDP of hosts H6635 ; the LORD H3068 EDS is his memorial H2143 .
6 Therefore turn H7725 VQY3FS thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS to thy God H430 CMP-2MS : keep H8104 VQI2MS mercy H2617 NMS and judgment H4941 W-NMS , and wait H6960 on H413 PREP thy God H430 CMP-2MS continually H8548 .
7 He is a merchant H3667 LMS , the balances H3976 of deceit H4820 NFS are in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS : he loveth H157 to oppress H6231 .
8 And Ephraim H669 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Yet H389 ADV I am become rich H6238 , I have found me out H4672 VQQ1MS substance H202 : in all H3605 NMS my labors H3018 they shall find H4672 VQY3MP none H3808 NADV iniquity H5771 NMS in me that H834 RPRO were sin H2399 .
9 And I H595 W-PPRO-1MS that am the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS from the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 will yet H5750 ADV make thee to dwell H3427 in tabernacles H168 , as in the days H3117 K-CMP of the solemn feast H4150 .
10 I have also spoken H1696 by H5921 PREP the prophets H5030 , and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS have multiplied H7235 visions H2377 , and used similitudes H1819 , by the ministry H3027 of the prophets H5030 .
11 Is there iniquity H205 NMS in Gilead H1568 ? surely H389 ADV they are H1961 VQQ3MP vanity H7723 NMS : they sacrifice H2076 bullocks H7794 in Gilgal H1537 ; yea H1571 CONJ , their altars H4196 are as heaps H1530 in H5921 PREP the furrows H8525 of the fields H7704 .
12 And Jacob H3290 fled H1272 W-VQY3MS into the country H7704 CMS of Syria H758 EMS , and Israel H3478 served H5647 for a wife H802 , and for a wife H802 he kept H8104 sheep .
13 And by a prophet H5030 the LORD H3068 EDS brought H5927 Israel H3478 out of Egypt H4714 , and by a prophet H5030 was he preserved H8104 .
14 Ephraim H669 provoked him to anger H3707 most bitterly H8563 : therefore shall he leave H5203 his blood H1818 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and his reproach H2781 shall his Lord H113 return H7725 VHY3MS unto him .
