  2 G2532 And G3568 now G4369 they proceeded G3588   G264 to sin, G2532 and G4160 made G1438 for themselves G5560.4 molten castings G1537 of G3588   G694 their silver, G1473   G2596 according to G1504 the image G1497 of idols, G2041 the works G5045 of fabricators G4931 being completed G1473 for them. G1473 They G3004 say, G2380 Sacrifice G444 men, G3448 for the calves G1063   G1587 have ceased!
  3 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G1510.8.6 they will be G5613 as G3507 [2cloud G4407 1an early morning], G2532 and G5613 as G1408.1 [2dew G3720 1early morning] G4198 going away, G5613 as G5515.2 dust G670.2 being blown away G575 from G257 the threshing floor, G2532 and G5613 as G822 a vapor G575 from G1144 tears.
  4 G1473 But I G1161   G2962 the lord G3588   G2316 your God, G1473   G1473 I G321 led G1473 you G1537 from out of G1093 the land G* of Egypt, G2532 and G2316 [2a god G4133 3besides G1473 4me G3756 1you shall not know], G1097   G2532 and G4982 [2one delivering G3756 1there is not] G1510.2.3   G3926.1 besides G1473 me.
  5 G1473 I G4165 tended G1473 you G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness G1722 in G1093 [2land G516.2 1an uninhabited].
  6 G2596 According to G3588   G3542 their pastures, G1473   G2532 so G1705 they were filled G1519 unto G4140 fullness, G2532 and G5312 they exalted G3588   G2588 their hearts; G1473   G1752 because of G3778 this G1950 they forgot G1473 me.
  7 G2532 And G1510.8.1 I will be G1473 to them G5613 as G3831.1 a panther, G2532 and G5613 as G3917 a leopard, G2596 according to G3588 the G3598 way G* of the Assyrians.
  8 G528 I will meet G1473 them G5613 as G715 a bear G3588   G639 being perplexed, G2532 and G1284 I will tear up G4787.4 the enclosure G2588 of their heart; G1473   G2532 and G2719 [3shall devour G1473 4them G1563 5there G4661.1 1 the cubs G1409.1 2of the forest]; G2532 and G2342 wild beasts G68 of the field G1288 shall pull them apart. G1473  
  9 G3588   G1312 In your corruption, G1473   G* O Israel, G5100 who G997 will help?
  10 G4226 Where is G3588   G935 this your king? G1473   G3778   G2532 and G1295 let him preserve G1473 you G1722 in G3956 all G3588   G4172 your cities! G1473   G2919 Let him judge G1473 you! G3739 whom G2036 you said, G1325 Give G1473 to me G935 a king G2532 and G758 a ruler!
  11 G2532 And G1325 I gave G1473 to you G935 a king G1722 in G3709 my anger, G1473   G2532 and G2192 I sufficed G1722 in G3588   G2372 my rage. G1473  
  12 G4963 A confederacy G93 of injustice; G* Ephraim -- G1470 [2being hidden G266 1his sin]. G1473  
  13 G5604 Pangs G5613 as G5088 one giving birth G2240 shall come G1473 to him; G3778 he is G3588   G5207 [3son G1473 1your G3588   G5429 2intelligent], G1360 because G3568 now G3766.2 in no way G5307.2 should he stand G1722 in G4936.1 the destruction G5043 of children.
  14 G1537 From G5495 the hand G86 of Hades G4506 I shall rescue G1473 them; G1537 from G2288 death G3084 I will ransom G1473 them. G4226 Where is G3588   G1349 your punishment, G1473   G2288 O death? G4226 Where is G3588   G2759 your sting, G1473   G86 O Hades? G3874 Consolation G2928 is hidden G575 from G3788 my eyes. G1473  
  15 G1360 For G3778 this, G303.1 [2between G80 3brethren G1473   G1291 1he will separate]; G1863 [2will bring up G2742 3a burning G417 4wind G2962 1 the lord] G1537 from out of G3588 the G2048 wilderness G1909 upon G1473 him, G2532 and G369.2 he shall dry up G3588   G5393.1 his arteries; G1473   G1830.2 he shall make quite desolate G3588   G4077 his springs; G1473   G1473 he G2660.2 shall totally dry up G3588   G1093 his land, G1473   G2532 and G3956 all G3588   G4632 [2items G3588   G1938.1 1his desirable]. G1473  
  16 G853 Samaria shall be obliterated, G*   G3754 for G436 she withstood G4314 against G2316 her God. G1473   G1722 By G4501 the broadsword G4098 they shall fall, G2532 and G3588 the ones G5294.1 under their breasts G1473   G1474 shall be dashed, G2532 and G3588 the ones G1722 [3in the G1064 4womb G2192 2having one G1473 1of them] G1284 shall be torn up.

  2 H2398 And now they sin [H8800]   H3254 more and more [H8686]   H6213 , and have made [H8799]   H4541 them molten images H3701 of their silver H6091 , and idols H8394 according to their own understanding H4639 , all of it the work H2796 of the craftsmen H559 : they say [H8802]   H120 of them, Let the men H2076 that sacrifice [H8802]   H5401 kiss [H8799]   H5695 the calves.
  3 H1242 Therefore they shall be as the morning H6051 cloud H7925 , and as the early [H8688]   H2919 dew H1980 that passeth away [H8802]   H4671 , as the chaff H5590 that is driven with the whirlwind [H8792]   H1637 out of the floor H6227 , and as the smoke H699 out of the chimney.
  4 H3068 Yet I am the LORD H430 thy God H776 from the land H4714 of Egypt H3045 , and thou shalt know [H8799]   H430 no god H2108 but me H3467 : for there is no saviour [H8688]   H1115 beside me.
  5 H3045 I did know [H8804]   H4057 thee in the wilderness H776 , in the land H8514 of great drought.
  6 H4830 According to their pasture H7646 , so were they filled [H8799]   H7646 ; they were filled [H8804]   H3820 , and their heart H7311 was exalted [H8799]   H7911 ; therefore have they forgotten [H8804]   me.
  7 H7826 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion H5246 : as a leopard H1870 by the way H7789 will I observe [H8799]   them :
  8 H6298 I will meet [H8799]   H1677 them as a bear H7909 that is bereaved H7167 of her whelps, and will rend [H8799]   H5458 the caul H3820 of their heart H398 , and there will I devour [H8799]   H3833 them like a lion H7704 : the wild H2416 beast H1234 shall tear [H8762]   them.
  9 H3478 O Israel H7843 , thou hast destroyed [H8765]   H5828 thyself; but in me is thine help.
  10 H165 I will H4428 be thy king H645 : where H3467 is any other that may save [H8686]   H5892 thee in all thy cities H8199 ? and thy judges [H8802]   H559 of whom thou saidst [H8804]   H5414 , Give [H8798]   H4428 me a king H8269 and princes?
  11 H5414 I gave [H8799]   H4428 thee a king H639 in mine anger H3947 , and took [H8799]   H5678 him away in my wrath.
  12 H5771 The iniquity H669 of Ephraim H6887 is bound up [H8803]   H2403 ; his sin H6845 is hid [H8803]  .
  13 H2256 The sorrows H3205 of a travailing woman [H8802]   H935 shall come [H8799]   H2450 upon him: he is an unwise H1121 son H5975 ; for he should not stay [H8799]   H6256 long H4866 in the place of the breaking forth H1121 of children.
  14 H6299 I will ransom [H8799]   H3027 them from the power H7585 of the grave H1350 ; I will redeem [H8799]   H4194 them from death H4194 : O death H165 , I will H1698 be thy plagues H7585 ; O grave H165 , I will H6987 be thy destruction H5164 : repentance H5641 shall be hid [H8735]   H5869 from mine eyes.
  15 H6500 Though he be fruitful [H8686]   H251 among his brethren H6921 , an east wind H935 shall come [H8799]   H7307 , the wind H3068 of the LORD H5927 shall come up [H8802]   H4057 from the wilderness H4726 , and his spring H954 shall become dry [H8799]   H4599 , and his fountain H2717 shall be dried up [H8799]   H8154 : he shall spoil [H8799]   H214 the treasure H2532 of all pleasant H3627 vessels.
  16 H8111 Samaria H816 shall become desolate [H8799]   H4784 ; for she hath rebelled [H8804]   H430 against her God H5307 : they shall fall [H8799]   H2719 by the sword H5768 : their infants H7376 shall be dashed in pieces [H8792]   H2030 , and their women with child H1234 shall be ripped up [H8792]  .
ERV(i) 1 When Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel: but when he offended in Baal, he died. 2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. 3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. 4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me, and beside me there is no saviour. 5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me. 7 Therefore am I unto them as a lion: as a leopard will I watch by the way: 8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart: and there will I devour them like a lion; the wild beast shall tear them. 9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help. 10 Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? 11 I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath. 12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store. 13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children. 14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, where are thy plagues? O grave, where is thy destruction? repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. 15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. 16 Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
