28:005:009 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of
rebuke: among the
tribes
of Israel have I made known that which shall surely
be.
28:005:010 The princes of Judah were like them that
remove the bound:
therefore
I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
28:005:011 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment,
because he
willingly
walked after the commandment.
28:005:012 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth,
and to the house
of
Judah as rottenness.
28:005:013 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah
saw his wound, then
went
Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb:
yet
could
he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
28:005:014 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and
as a young lion to
the
house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away;
I will
take
away, and none shall rescue him.
28:005:015 I will go and return to my place, till
they acknowledge their
offence,
and seek my face: in their affliction they will
seek
me
early.
28:006:001 Come, and let us return unto the lord:
for he hath torn, and
he
will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us
up.
28:006:002 After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will
raise
us up, and we shall live in his sight.
28:006:003 Then shall we know, if we follow on to
know the lord: his
going
forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come
unto
us
as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the
earth.
28:006:004 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
O Judah, what shall I do
unto
thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and
as the
early
dew it goeth away.
28:006:005 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets;
I have slain them
by
the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as
the light
that
goeth forth.
28:006:006 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice;
and the knowledge of
God
more than burnt offerings.
28:006:007 But they like men have transgressed the
covenant: there have
they
dealt treacherously against me.
28:006:008 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity,
and is polluted
with
blood.
28:006:009 And as troops of robbers wait for a man,
so the company of
priests
murder in the way by consent: for they commit
lewdness.
28:006:010 I have seen an horrible thing in the house
of Israel: there is
the
whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
28:006:011 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for
thee, when I
returned
the captivity of my people.
28:007:001 When I would have healed Israel, then the
iniquity of Ephraim
was
discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for
they commit
falsehood;
and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers
spoileth
without.
