MKJV(i)
9 And all the people shall know, Ephraim and the people of Samaria, who say in pride and hardness of heart,
10 The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with cut stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we use cedars instead.
11 And Jehovah shall set up the foes of Rezin against him, and spur on his enemies;
12 the Syrians in front and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
13 For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, nor do they seek Jehovah of Hosts.
14 And Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people led them astray; and their guided ones are swallowed up.
17 For this the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, nor shall He have mercy on their orphans and widows; for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolishness. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns like the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall roll upwards like the lifting up of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts is the land scorched, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall have pity on his brother.
20 And he shall cut off on the right hand and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left, and they shall not be satisfied. Each man shall eat the flesh of his own arm;
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
