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?

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.
