28:012:010 I have also spoken by the prophets, and
I have multiplied
visions,
and used similitudes, by the ministry of the
prophets.
28:012:011 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they
are vanity: they
sacrifice
bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps
in
the furrows of the fields.
28:012:012 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria,
and Israel served
for
a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
28:012:013 And by a prophet the lord brought
Israel out of Egypt, and by
a
prophet was he preserved.
28:012:014 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly:
therefore shall
he
leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his
lord
return
unto him.
28:013:001 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted
himself in Israel;
but
when he offended in Baal, he died.
28:013:002 And now they sin more and more, and have
made them molten
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.
28:013:003 Therefore they shall be as the morning
cloud and as the early
dew
that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with
the
whirlwind
out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the
chimney.
28:013:004 Yet I am the lord thy God from the
land of Egypt, and thou
shalt
know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside
me.
28:013:005 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the
land of great
drought.
28:013:006 According to their pasture, so were they
filled; they were
filled,
and their heart was exalted; therefore have they
forgotten
me.
28:013:007 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion:
as a leopard by the
way
will I observe them:
28:013:008 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved
of her whelps, and
will
rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour
them
like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
28:013:009 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself;
but in me is thine
help.
28:013:010 I will be thy king: where is any other
that may save thee in
all
thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give
me a
king
and princes?
28:013:011 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took
him away in my
wrath.
28:013:012 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
28:013:013 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall
come upon him: he is
an
unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place
of the
breaking
forth of children.
