When EphraimH669 spakeH1696 tremblingH7578, he exaltedH5375 himself in IsraelH3478; but when he offendedH816 in BaalH1168, he diedH4191.
And now they sinH2398 more and moreH3254, and have madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541 of their silverH3701, and idolsH6091 according to their own understandingH8394, all of it the workH4639 of the craftsmenH2796: they sayH559 of them, Let the menH120 that sacrificeH2076 kissH5401 the calvesH5695. {they sin…: Heb. they add to sin} {the men…: or, the sacrificers of men}
Therefore they shall be as the morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the earlyH7925 dewH2919 that passeth awayH1980, as the chaffH4671 that is driven with the whirlwindH5590 out of the floorH1637, and as the smokeH6227 out of the chimneyH699.
Yet I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and thou shalt knowH3045 no godH430 but meH2108: for there is no saviourH3467 beside meH1115.
I did knowH3045 thee in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776 of great droughtH8514. {great…: Heb. droughts}
According to their pastureH4830, so were they filledH7646; they were filledH7646, and their heartH3820 was exaltedH7311; therefore have they forgottenH7911 me.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:
I will meetH6298 them as a bearH1677 that is bereavedH7909 of her whelps, and will rendH7167 the caulH5458 of their heartH3820, and there will I devourH398 them like a lionH3833: the wildH7704 beastH2416 shall tearH1234 them. {wild…: Heb. beast of the field}
O IsraelH3478, thou hast destroyedH7843 thyself; but in me is thine helpH5828. {is…: Heb. in thy help}
I willH165 be thy kingH4428: whereH645 is any other that may saveH3467 thee in all thy citiesH5892? and thy judgesH8199 of whom thou saidstH559, GiveH5414 me a kingH4428 and princesH8269? {I will…: rather, Where is thy king?}
I gaveH5414 thee a kingH4428 in mine angerH639, and tookH3947 him away in my wrathH5678.
The iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 is bound upH6887; his sinH2403 is hidH6845.
The sorrowsH2256 of a travailing womanH3205 shall comeH935 upon him: he is an unwiseH2450 sonH1121; for he should not stayH5975 longH6256 in the place of the breaking forthH4866 of childrenH1121. {long: Heb. a time}
I will ransomH6299 them from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585; I will redeemH1350 them from deathH4194: O deathH4194, I willH165 be thy plaguesH1698; O graveH7585, I willH165 be thy destructionH6987: repentanceH5164 shall be hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869. {power: Heb. hand}
Though he be fruitfulH6500 among his brethrenH251, an east windH6921 shall comeH935, the windH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall come upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, and his springH4726 shall become dryH954, and his fountainH4599 shall be dried upH2717: he shall spoilH8154 the treasureH214 of all pleasantH2532 vesselsH3627. {pleasant…: Heb. vessels of desire}
SamariaH8111 shall become desolateH816; for she hath rebelledH4784 against her GodH430: they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: their infantsH5768 shall be dashed in piecesH7376, and their women with childH2030 shall be ripped upH1234.

O IsraelH3478, returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; for thou hast fallenH3782 by thine iniquityH5771.
Yet I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and thou shalt knowH3045 no godH430 but meH2108: for there is no saviourH3467 beside meH1115.
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
There is none like unto the GodH410 of JeshurunH3484, who ridethH7392 upon the heavenH8064 in thy helpH5828, and in his excellencyH1346 on the skyH7834.
But whoso committeth adulteryH5003 with a womanH802 lackethH2638 understandingH3820: he that doethH6213 it destroyethH7843 his own soulH5315. {understanding: Heb. heart}
But he that sinnethH2398 against me wrongethH2554 his own soulH5315: all they that hateH8130 me loveH157 deathH4194.
To the chief MusicianH5329 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, A SongH7892 upon AlamothH5961. GodH430 is our refugeH4268 and strengthH5797, a veryH3966 presentH4672 helpH5833 in troubleH6869. {for: or, of}
The shewH1971 of their countenanceH6440 doth witness against themH6030; and they declareH5046 their sinH2403 as SodomH5467, they hideH3582 it not. WoeH188 unto their soulH5315! for they have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto themselves.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. I will lift upH5375 mine eyesH5869 unto the hillsH2022, from whenceH370 comethH935 my helpH5828. {I will…: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come?}
WoeH188 unto the wickedH7563! it shall be illH7451 with him: for the rewardH1576 of his handsH3027 shall be givenH6213 him. {given…: Heb. done to him}
Hast thou not procuredH6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whenH6256 he ledH3212 thee by the wayH1870?
HappyH835 is he that hath the GodH410 of JacobH3290 for his helpH5828, whose hopeH7664 is in the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213 these things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060 unto thine heartH3820.
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
ThatG2443 being justified byG1344 hisG1565 graceG5485, we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222.
