Hosea 13
When
Ephraim
spake
trembling,
he
exalted
himself
in
Israel;
but
when
he
a
offended
in
Baal,
he
died.
2 And
now
they
sin
more
and
more,
and
have
made
them
molten
a
images
of
their
silver,
and
idols
according
to
their
own
understanding,
all
of
it
the
work
of
the
craftsmen:
they
say
of
them,
Let
the
men
that
sacrifice
kiss
the
calves.
3 Therefore
they
shall
be
as
the
morning
cloud,
and
as
the
early
dew
that
passeth
away,
as
the
a
chaff
that
is
driven
with
the
whirlwind
out
of
the
floor,
and
as
the
smoke
out
of
the
chimney.
4 Yet
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God
from
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
thou
shalt
know
no
a
god
but
me:
for
there
is
no
b
saviour
c
beside
me.
5 I
did
a
know
thee
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
land
of
great
b
drought.
6 According
to
their
pasture,
so
were
they
a
filled;
they
were
filled,
and
their
heart
was
exalted;
therefore
have
they
b
forgotten
me.
7 Therefore
I
will
be
unto
them
as
a
lion:
as
a
leopard
by
the
way
will
I
observe
them:
8 I
will
meet
them
as
a
a
bear
that
is
bereaved
of
her
whelps,
and
will
rend
the
b
caul
of
their
heart,
and
there
will
I
devour
them
like
a
lion:
the
wild
beast
shall
tear
them.
9 O
Israel,
thou
hast
a
destroyed
thyself;
but
in
me
is
thine
b
help.
10 I
will
be
thy
a
king:
where
is
any
other
that
may
save
thee
in
all
thy
cities?
and
thy
judges
of
whom
thou
saidst,
Give
me
a
b
king
and
princes?
11 I
gave
thee
a
king
in
mine
a
anger,
and
b
took
him
away
in
my
wrath.
12 The
iniquity
of
Ephraim
is
bound
up;
his
sin
is
hid.
13 The
a
sorrows
of
a
b
travailing
woman
shall
come
upon
him:
he
is
an
unwise
son;
for
he
should
not
stay
long
in
the
place
of
the
c
breaking
forth
of
children.
14 I
will
a
ransom
them
from
the
power
of
the
b
grave;
I
will
c
redeem
them
from
death:
O
d
death,
I
will
be
thy
e
plagues;
O
grave,
I
will
be
thy
destruction:
f
repentance
shall
be
hid
from
mine
eyes.
15 Though
he
be
fruitful
among
his
brethren,
an
east
a
wind
shall
come,
the
wind
of
the
Lord
shall
come
up
from
the
wilderness,
and
his
spring
shall
become
dry,
and
his
fountain
shall
be
dried
up:
he
shall
spoil
the
treasure
of
all
pleasant
vessels.
16
a
Samaria
shall
become
desolate;
for
she
hath
rebelled
against
her
God:
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword:
their
infants
shall
be
b
dashed
in
pieces,
and
their
women
with
child
shall
be
ripped
up.
