V.1 When Ephraim 669 spake 1696-15 trembling, 7578 he exalted 5375-1 himself in Israel; 3478 but when he offended 816-4 in Baal, 1168 he died. 4191-4

13:2 And now they sin 2398-2 more and more, 3254-55 and have made 6213-4 them molten images 4541 of their silver, 3701 [and] idols 6091 according to their own understanding, 8394 all of it the work 4639 of the craftsmen: 2796 they say 559-6 of them, Let the men 120 that sacrifice 2076-6 kiss 5401-4 the calves. 5695

13:3 Therefore they shall be as the morning 1242 cloud, 6051 and as the early 7925-56 dew 2919 that passeth away, 1980-6 as the chaff 4671 [that] is driven with the whirlwind 5590-29 out of the floor, 1637 and as the smoke 6227 out of the chimney. 699

13:4 Yet I [am] the LORD 3068 thy God 430 from the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 and thou shalt know 3045-4 no god 430 but me: 2108 for [there is] no saviour 3467-56 beside me. 1115

13:5 I did know 3045-1 thee in the wilderness, 4057 in the land 776 of great drought. 8514

13:6 According to their pasture, 4830 so were they filled; 7646-4 they were filled, 7646-1 and their heart 3820 was exalted; 7311-4 therefore have they forgotten 7911-1 me.

13:7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: 7826 as a leopard 5246 by the way 1870 will I observe 7789-4 [them]:

13:8 I will meet 6298-4 them as a bear 1677 [that is] bereaved 7909 [of her whelps], and will rend 7167-4 the caul 5458 of their heart, 3820 and there will I devour 398-4 them like a lion: 3833 the wild 7704 beast 2416 shall tear 1234-17 them.

13:9 O Israel, 3478 thou hast destroyed 7843-14 thyself; but in me [is] thine help. 5828

13:10 I will be 165 thy king: 4428 where 645 [is any other] that may save 3467-55 thee in all thy cities? 5892 and thy judges 8199-6 of whom thou saidst, 559-1 Give 5414-3 me a king 4428 and princes? 8269

13:11 I gave 5414-4 thee a king 4428 in mine anger, 639 and took [him] away 3947-4 in my wrath. 5678

13:12 The iniquity 5771 of Ephraim 669 [is] bound up; 6887-7 his sin 2403 [is] hid. 6845-7

13:13 The sorrows 2256 of a travailing woman 3205-6 shall come 935-4 upon him: he [is] an unwise 2450 son; 1121 for he should not stay 5975-4 long 6256 in [the place of] the breaking forth 4866 of children. 1121

13:14 I will ransom 6299-4 them from the power 3027 of the grave; 7585 I will redeem 1350-4 them from death: 4194 O death, 4194 I will be 165 thy plagues; 1698 O grave, 7585 I will be 165 thy destruction: 6987 repentance 5164 shall be hid 5641-11 from mine eyes. 5869

13:15 Though he be fruitful 6500-55 among [his] brethren, 251 an east wind 6921 shall come, 935-4 the wind 7307 of the LORD 3068 shall come up 5927-6 from the wilderness, 4057 and his spring 4726 shall become dry, 954-4 and his fountain 4599 shall be dried up: 2717-4 he shall spoil 8154-4 the treasure 214 of all pleasant 2532 vessels. 3627
