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

CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H669 Ephraim H7462 feeds H7307 on wind, H7291 and follows H6921 after the east wind: H3117 he daily H7235 increases H3577 lies H7701 and desolation; H3772 and they do make H1285 a covenant H804 with the Assyrians, H8081 and oil H2986 is carried H4714 into Egypt.

2 H3068 The Lord H7379 has also a controversy H3063 with Judah, H6485 and will punish H3290 Jacob H1870 according to his ways; H4611 according to his doings H7725 will he recompense him.

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

4 H7786 Yes, he had power H4397 over the angel, H3201 and prevailed: H1058 he wept, H2603 and made supplication H4672 unto him: he found H1008 him in Beth–el, H1696 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 Therefore turn H430 you to your God: H8104 keep H2617 mercy H4941 and judgment, H6960 and wait H430 on your God H8548 continually.

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

8 H669 And Ephraim H559 said, H6238 Yet I am become rich, H4672 I have found me out H202 substance: H3018 in all my labors H4672 they shall find H5771 none iniquity H2399 in me that were sin.

9 H3068 And I that am the Lord H430 your God H776 from the land H4714 of Egypt H3427 will yet make you to live H168 in tabernacles, H3117 as in the days H4150 of the solemn feast.

10 H1696 I have also spoken H5030 by the prophets, H7235 and I have multiplied H2377 visions, H1819 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 they sacrifice H7794 bullocks H1537 in Gilgal; H4196 Yes, their altars H1530 are as heaps H8525 in the furrows H7704 of the fields.

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

13 H5030 And by a prophet H3068 the Lord H5927 brought H3478 Israel H4714 out of Egypt, H5030 and by a prophet H8104 was he preserved.

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