Hosea 12
Berean Standard Bible
A Reproof of Ephraim, Judah, and Jacob
1EphraimH6691 feeds onH7462 the windH7307 and pursuesH7291 the east windH6921 allH3605 day longH3117; he multipliesH7235 liesH3577 and violenceH7701; he makesH3772 a covenantH1285 withH5973 AssyriaH804 and sendsH2986 olive oilH8081 to EgyptH4714.
2The LORDH3068 has a charge to bringH7379 againstH5973 JudahH3063.He will punishH6485H5921 JacobH32902 according to his waysH1870and repayH7725 him according to his deedsH4611.3In the wombH990 he grasped his brother’sH251 heelH6117,and in his vigorH202 he wrestledH8280 withH854 GodH430.4Yes, he struggledH7786 withH413 the angelH43973 and prevailedH3201;he weptH1058 and sought His favorH2603;he found HimH4672 at BethelH1008and spokeH1696 with HimH5973 thereH80334—5the LORDH3068 GodH430 of HostsH6635,the LORDH3068 is His name of renownH2143.6But youH859 must returnH7725 to your GodH430;maintainH8104 loveH2617 and justiceH4941,and alwaysH8548 waitH6960 onH413 your GodH430.
7A merchantH3667 lovesH157 to defraudH6231with dishonestH4820 scalesH3976 in his handsH3027.8And EphraimH669 boastsH559H389: “How rich I have becomeH6238!I have foundH4672 wealthH202 for myself.In allH3605 my laborsH3018, they can findH4672 in menoH3808 iniquityH5771 thatH834 is sinfulH2399.”
9But IH595 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430ever since the landH776 of EgyptH4714.I will again make you dwellH3427H5750 in tentsH168,as in the daysH3117 of the appointed feastH4150.10I spokeH1696 throughH5921 the prophetsH5030andH595 multipliedH7235 their visionsH2377;I gave parablesH1819 throughH3027 the prophetsH5030.11Is thereH518 iniquityH205 in GileadH1568?They will surelyH389 comeH1961 to nothingH7723.Do they sacrificeH2076 bullsH7794 in GilgalH1537?IndeedH1571, their altarsH4196 will be heaps of stonesH1530inH5921 the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7704.
