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 messenger, H3201 [H8799] and prevailed: H1058 [H8804] he wept, H2603 [H8691] and asked for favour H4672 [H8799] from 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 perversity 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 tents, 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 hand H5030 of the prophets.

11 H205 Is there nothingness 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 Sovereign H7725 [H8686] return to him.
