 1Ephraimh669 feedsh7462a on  awindh7307, And pursuesh7291 the  beasth6921 windh6921 continuallyh3605h3117; He multipliesh7235a liesh3577 and violenceh7701. Moreover,  2he makesh3772 a covenanth1285 with Assyriah804b, And oilh8081 is carriedh2986 to Egypth4714.

2

The LORDh3068 also has a  adisputeh7379 with Judahh3063, And will punishh6485 Jacobh3290  baccording to his waysh1870; He will repayh7725 him according to his deedsh4611.

3

In the wombh990 he  atookh6117 his brotherh251 by the heelh6117, And in his maturityh202 he  bcontendedh8280 with Godh430.

4

Yes, he wrestledh8280 with the angelh4397 and prevailedh3201; He wepth1058 and  asoughth2603a His favorh2603a. He foundh4672 Him at  bBethelh1008 And thereh8033 He spokeh1696 with us,

5

Even the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of hostsh6635, The LORDh3068 is His  1 anameh2143.

6

Therefore,  areturnh7725 to your Godh430,  bObserveh8104  1kindnessh2617a and justiceh4941, And  cwaith6960a for your Godh430 continuallyh8548.

7

A  1merchanth3669b, in whose handsh3027 are falseh4820  abalancesh3976, He lovesh157 to oppressh6231.

8

And Ephraimh669 saidh559, "Surelyh389 I have becomeh6238  arichh6238, I have foundh4672 wealthh202 for myself; In allh3605 my laborsh3018 they will findh4672 in me  bNoh3808 iniquityh5771, whichh834 would be sinh2399."

9

But I have been the LORDh3068 your Godh430 sinceh4480 the landh776 of Egypth4714; I will make you  aliveh3427 in tentsh168 againh5750, As in the daysh3117 of the appointedh4150 festivalh4150.

10

I have also spokenh1696 to the  aprophetsh5030, And I  1gaveh7235a numeroush7235a visionsh2377, And throughh3027 the prophetsh5030 I gaveh1819  bparablesh1819.

11

Is there iniquityh205 in Gileadh1568? Surelyh389 they are worthlessh7723. In Gilgalh1537 they sacrificeh2076 bullsh7794, Yesh1571,  atheir altarsh4196 are like the stoneh1530 heapsh1530 Besideh5921 the furrowsh8525 of the fieldh7706a.

12

Now  aJacobh3290 fledh1272 to the  1landh7704 of Aramh758, And  bIsraelh3478 workedh5647 for a wifeh802, And for a wifeh802 he kepth8104 sheep.

13

But by a  apropheth5030 the LORDh3068 broughth5927 Israelh3478 from Egypth4714, And by a propheth5030 he was kepth8104.

14

 aEphraimh669 has provokedh3707 to bitterh8563 angerh3707; So his Lordh136 will leaveh5203 his  bbloodguilth1818 on him And bringh7725 backh7725 his  creproachh2781 to him.
