13:1 When Ephraim 669 spake 1696 8763 trembling 7578, he exalted 5375 8804 himself in Israel 3478; but when he offended 816 8799 in Baal 1168, he died 4191 8799.

13:2 And now they sin 2398 8800 more and more 3254 8686, and have made 6213 8799 them molten images 4541 of their silver 3701, [and] idols 6091 according to their own understanding 8394, all of it the work 4639 of the craftsmen 2796: they say 559 8802 of them, Let the men 120 that sacrifice 2076 8802 kiss 5401 8799 the calves 5695.(they sin…: Heb. they add to sin)(the men…: or, the sacrificers of men)

13:3 Therefore they shall be as the morning 1242 cloud 6051, and as the early 7925 8688 dew 2919 that passeth away 1980 8802, as the chaff 4671 [that] is driven with the whirlwind 5590 8792 out of the floor 1637, and as the smoke 6227 out of the chimney 699.

13:4 Yet I [am] the LORD 3068 thy God 430 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and thou shalt know 3045 8799 no god 430 but me 2108: for [there is] no saviour 3467 8688 beside me 1115.

13:5 I did know 3045 8804 thee in the wilderness 4057, in the land 776 of great drought 8514.(great…: Heb. droughts)

13:6 According to their pasture 4830, so were they filled 7646 8799; they were filled 7646 8804, and their heart 3820 was exalted 7311 8799; therefore have they forgotten 7911 8804 me.

13:7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion 7826: as a leopard 5246 by the way 1870 will I observe 7789 8799 [them]:

13:8 I will meet 6298 8799 them as a bear 1677 [that is] bereaved 7909 [of her whelps], and will rend 7167 8799 the caul 5458 of their heart 3820, and there will I devour 398 8799 them like a lion 3833: the wild 7704 beast 2416 shall tear 1234 8762 them.(wild…: Heb. beast of the field)

13:9 O Israel 3478, thou hast destroyed 7843 8765 thyself; but in me [is] thine help 5828.(is…: Heb. in thy help)

13:10 I will 165 be thy king 4428: where 645 [is any other] that may save 3467 8686 thee in all thy cities 5892? and thy judges 8199 8802 of whom thou saidst 559 8804, Give 5414 8798 me a king 4428 and princes 8269?(I will…: rather, Where is thy king?)

13:11 I gave 5414 8799 thee a king 4428 in mine anger 639, and took 3947 8799 [him] away in my wrath 5678.

13:12 The iniquity 5771 of Ephraim 669 [is] bound up 6887 8803; his sin 2403 [is] hid 6845 8803.

13:13 The sorrows 2256 of a travailing woman 3205 8802 shall come 935 8799 upon him: he [is] an unwise 2450 son 1121; for he should not stay 5975 8799 long 6256 in [the place of] the breaking forth 4866 of children 1121.(long: Heb. a time)

13:14 I will ransom 6299 8799 them from the power 3027 of the grave 7585; I will redeem 1350 8799 them from death 4194: O death 4194, I will 165 be thy plagues 1698; O grave 7585, I will 165 be thy destruction 6987: repentance 5164 shall be hid 5641 8735 from mine eyes 5869.(power: Heb. hand)

13:15 Though he be fruitful 6500 8686 among [his] brethren 251, an east wind 6921 shall come 935 8799, the wind 7307 of the LORD 3068 shall come up 5927 8802 from the wilderness 4057, and his spring 4726 shall become dry 954 8799, and his fountain 4599 shall be dried up 2717 8799: he shall spoil 8154 8799 the treasure 214 of all pleasant 2532 vessels 3627.(pleasant…: Heb. vessels of desire)

13:16 Samaria 8111 shall become desolate 816 8799; for she hath rebelled 4784 8804 against her God 430: they shall fall 5307 8799 by the sword 2719: their infants 5768 shall be dashed in pieces 7376 8792, and their women with child 2030 shall be ripped up 1234 8792.
