Hosea 12 (kjv)

EphraimH669 feedethH7462 on windH7307, and followethH7291 after the east windH6921: he dailyH3117 increasethH7235 liesH3577 and desolationH7701; and they do makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the AssyriansH804, and oilH8081 is carriedH2986 into EgyptH4714.2The LORDH3068 hath also a controversyH7379 with JudahH3063, and will punishH6485 JacobH3290 according to his waysH1870; according to his doingsH4611 will he recompenseH7725 him.

3He took his brotherH251 by the heelH6117 in the wombH990, and by his strengthH202 he had powerH8280 with GodH430:4Yea, he had powerH7786 over the angelH4397, and prevailedH3201: he weptH1058, and made supplicationH2603 unto him: he foundH4672 him in BethelH1008, and there he spakeH1696 with us;5Even the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635; the LORDH3068 is his memorialH2143.6Therefore turnH7725 thou to thy GodH430: keepH8104 mercyH2617 and judgmentH4941, and waitH6960 on thy GodH430 continuallyH8548.

7He is a merchantH3667, the balancesH3976 of deceitH4820 are in his handH3027: he lovethH157 to oppressH6231.8And EphraimH669 saidH559, Yet I am become richH6238, I have found me outH4672 substanceH202: in all my laboursH3018 they shall findH4672 none iniquityH5771 in me that were sinH2399.9And I that am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will yet make thee to dwellH3427 in tabernaclesH168, as in the daysH3117 of the solemn feastH4150.10I have also spokenH1696 by the prophetsH5030, and I have multipliedH7235 visionsH2377, and used similitudesH1819, by the ministryH3027 of the prophetsH5030.11Is there iniquityH205 in GileadH1568? surely they are vanityH7723: they sacrificeH2076 bullocksH7794 in GilgalH1537; yea, their altarsH4196 are as heapsH1530 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldsH7704.12And JacobH3290 fledH1272 into the countryH7704 of SyriaH758, and IsraelH3478 servedH5647 for a wifeH802, and for a wifeH802 he keptH8104 sheep.13And by a prophetH5030 the LORDH3068 broughtH5927 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, and by a prophetH5030 was he preservedH8104.14EphraimH669 provoked him to angerH3707 most bitterlyH8563: therefore shall he leaveH5203 his bloodH1818 upon him, and his reproachH2781 shall his LordH113 returnH7725 unto him.
