28:011:005 He shall not return into the land of Egypt,
and the Assyrian
shall
be his king, because they refused to return.
28:011:006 And the sword shall abide on his cities,
and shall consume his
branches,
and devour them, because of their own counsels.
28:011:007 And my people are bent to backsliding from
me: though they
called
them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
28:011:008 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how
shall I deliver thee,
Israel?
how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee
as
Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings
are
kindled
together.
28:011:009 I will not execute the fierceness of mine
anger, I will not
return
to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man;
the Holy
One
in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into
the city.
28:011:010 They shall walk after the lord:
he shall roar like a lion:
when
he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from
the
west.
28:011:011 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt,
and as a dove out
of
the land of Assyria: and I will place them in
their houses,
saith
the lord.
28:011:012 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies,
and the house of Israel
with
deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is
faithful
with
the saints.
28:012:001 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth
after the east wind: he
daily
increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a
covenant
with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
28:012:002 The lord hath also a controversy with
Judah, and will punish
Jacob
according to his ways; according to his doings will
he
recompense
him.
28:012:003 He took his brother by the heel in the
womb, and by his
strength
he had power with God:
28:012:004 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed:
he wept, and
made
supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel,
and there
he
spake with us;
28:012:005 Even the lord God of hosts; the lord is his memorial.
28:012:006 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep
mercy and judgment and
wait
on thy God continually.
28:012:007 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit
are in his hand: he
loveth
to oppress.
28:012:008 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich,
I have found me out
substance:
in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in
me
that were sin.
28:012:009 And I that am the lord thy God from
the land of Egypt will yet
make
thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the
solemn
feast.
