IsraelH3478 is an emptyH1238 vineH1612, he bringeth forthH7737 fruitH6529 unto himself: according to the multitudeH7230 of his fruitH6529 he hath increasedH7235 the altarsH4196; according to the goodnessH2896 of his landH776 they have made goodlyH2895 imagesH4676. {an…: or, a vine emptying the fruit which it giveth} {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images}
Their heartH3820 is dividedH2505; now shall they be found faultyH816: he shall break downH6202 their altarsH4196, he shall spoilH7703 their imagesH4676. {Their heart…: or, He hath divided their heart} {break…: Heb. behead} {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images}
For now they shall sayH559, We have no kingH4428, because we fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068; what then should a kingH4428 doH6213 to us?
They have spokenH1696 wordsH1697, swearingH422 falselyH7723 in makingH3772 a covenantH1285: thus judgmentH4941 springeth upH6524 as hemlockH7219 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7704.
The inhabitantsH7934 of SamariaH8111 shall fearH1481 because of the calvesH5697 of BethavenH1007: for the peopleH5971 thereof shall mournH56 over it, and the priestsH3649 thereof that rejoicedH1523 on it, for the gloryH3519 thereof, because it is departedH1540 from it. {the priests…: or, Chemarim}
It shall be also carriedH2986 unto AssyriaH804 for a presentH4503 to kingH4428 JarebH3377: EphraimH669 shall receiveH3947 shameH1317, and IsraelH3478 shall be ashamedH954 of his own counselH6098.
As for SamariaH8111, her kingH4428 is cut offH1820 as the foamH7110 uponH6440 the waterH4325. {the water: Heb. the face of the water}
The high placesH1116 also of AvenH206, the sinH2403 of IsraelH3478, shall be destroyedH8045: the thornH6975 and the thistleH1863 shall come upH5927 on their altarsH4196; and they shall sayH559 to the mountainsH2022, CoverH3680 us; and to the hillsH1389, FallH5307 on us.
O IsraelH3478, thou hast sinnedH2398 from the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: there they stoodH5975: the battleH4421 in GibeahH1390 against the childrenH1121 of iniquityH5932 did not overtakeH5381 them.
It is in my desireH185 that I should chastiseH3256 them; and the peopleH5971 shall be gatheredH622 against them, when they shall bindH631 themselves in their twoH8147 furrowsH5869. {when…: or, when I shall bind them for their two transgressions, or, in their two habitations}
And EphraimH669 is as an heiferH5697 that is taughtH3925, and lovethH157 to tread outH1758 the corn; but I passed overH5674 upon her fairH2898 neckH6677: I will make EphraimH669 to rideH7392; JudahH3063 shall plowH2790, and JacobH3290 shall break his clodsH7702. {her…: Heb. the beauty of her neck}
SowH2232 to yourselves in righteousnessH6666, reapH7114 inH6310 mercyH2617; break upH5214 your fallow groundH5215: for it is timeH6256 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, till he comeH935 and rainH3384 righteousnessH6664 upon you.
Ye have plowedH2790 wickednessH7562, ye have reapedH7114 iniquityH5766; ye have eatenH398 the fruitH6529 of liesH3585: because thou didst trustH982 in thy wayH1870, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mighty menH1368.
Therefore shall a tumultH7588 ariseH6965 among thy peopleH5971, and all thy fortressesH4013 shall be spoiledH7703, as ShalmanH8020 spoiledH7701 BetharbelH1009 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421: the motherH517 was dashed in piecesH7376 upon her childrenH1121.
SoH3602 shall BethelH1008 doH6213 unto you becauseH6440 of your greatH7451 wickednessH7451: in a morningH7837 shall the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 utterlyH1820 be cut offH1820. {your…: Heb. the evil of your evil}
