,this e,book was produced by ,david ,widger with the help of ,derek ,andrew's text from ,january #aiib and the work of ,bryan ,taylor in ,november #bjjb4 ,book #bh ,hosea #bh3jja3jja ,the word of the ,,lord that came unto ,hosea1 the son of ,beeri1 in the days of ,uzziah1 ,jotham1 ,ahaz1 and ,hezekiah1 kings of ,judah1 and in the days of ,jeroboam the son of ,joash1 king of ,israel4 #bh3jja3jjb ,the beginning of the word of the ,,lord by ,hosea4 ,and the ,,lord said to ,hosea1 ,go1 take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms3 for the land hath committed great whoredom1 departing from the ,,lord4 #bh3jja3jjc ,so he went and took ,gomer the daughter of ,diblaim2 which conceived1 and bare him a son4 #bh3jja3jjd ,and the ,,lord said unto him1 ,call his name ,jezreel2 for yet a little while1 and ,i will avenge the blood of ,jezreel upon the house of ,jehu1 and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of ,israel4 #bh3jja3jje ,and it shall come to pass at that day1 that ,i will break the bow of ,israel1 in the valley of ,jezreel4 #bh3jja3jjf ,and she conceived again1 and bare a daughter4 ,and ,god said unto him1 ,call her name ,loruhamah3 for ,i will no more have mercy upon the house of ,israel2 but ,i will utterly take them away4 #bh3jja3jjg ,but ,i will have mercy upon the house of ,judah1 and will save them by the ,,lord their ,god1 and will not save them by bow1 nor by sword1 nor by battle1 by horses1 nor by horsemen4 #bh3jja3jjh ,now when she had weaned ,loruhamah1 she conceived1 and bare a son4 #bh3jja3jji ,then said ,god1 ,call his name ,loammi3 for ye are not my people1 and ,i will not be your ,god4 #bh3jja3jaj ,yet the number of the children of ,israel shall be as the sand of the sea1 which cannot be measured nor numbered2 and it shall come to pass1 that in the place where it was said unto them1 ,ye are not my people1 there it shall be said unto them1 ,ye are the sons of the living ,god4 #bh3jja3jaa ,then shall the children of ,judah and the children of ,israel be gathered together1 and appoint themselves one head1 and they shall come up out of the land3 for great shall be the day of ,jezreel4 #bh3jjb3jja ,say ye unto your brethren1 ,ammi2 and to your sisters1 ,ruhamah4 #bh3jjb3jjb ,plead with your mother1 plead3 for she is not my wife1 neither am ,i her husband3 let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight1 and her adulteries from between her breasts2 #bh3jjb3jjc ,lest ,i strip her naked1 and set her as in the day that she was born1 and make her as a wilderness1 and set her like a dry land1 and slay her with thirst4 #bh3jjb3jjd ,and ,i will not have mercy upon her children2 for they be the children of whoredoms4 #bh3jjb3jje ,for their mother hath played the harlot3 she that conceived them hath done shamefully3 for she said1 ,i will go after my lovers1 that give me my bread and my water1 my wool and my flax1 mine oil and my drink4 #bh3jjb3jjf ,therefore1 behold1 ,i will hedge up thy way with thorns1 and make a wall1 that she shall not find her paths4 #bh3jjb3jjg ,and she shall follow after her lovers1 but she shall not overtake them2 and she shall seek them1 but shall not find them3 then shall she say1 ,i will go and return to my first husband2 for then was it better with me than now4 #bh3jjb3jjh ,for she did not know that ,i gave her corn1 and wine1 and oil1 and multiplied her silver and gold1 which they prepared for ,baal4 #bh3jjb3jji ,therefore will ,i return1 and take away my corn in the time thereof1 and my wine in the season thereof1 and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness4 #bh3jjb3jaj ,and now will ,i discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers1 and none shall deliver her out of mine hand4 #bh3jjb3jaa ,i will also cause all her mirth to cease1 her feast days1 her new moons1 and her sabbaths1 and all her solemn feasts4 #bh3jjb3jab ,and ,i will destroy her vines and her fig trees1 whereof she hath said1 ,these are my rewards that my lovers have given me3 and ,i will make them a forest1 and the beasts of the field shall eat them4 #bh3jjb3jac ,and ,i will visit upon her the days of ,baalim1 wherein she burned incense to them1 and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels1 and she went after her lovers1 and forgat me1 saith the ,,lord4 #bh3jjb3jad ,therefore1 behold1 ,i will allure her1 and bring her into the wilderness1 and speak comfortably unto her4 #bh3jjb3jae ,and ,i will give her her vineyards from thence1 and the valley of ,achor for a door of hope3 and she shall sing there1 as in the days of her youth1 and as in the day when she came up out of the land of ,egypt4 #bh3jjb3jaf ,and it shall be at that day1 saith the ,,lord1 that thou shalt call me ,ishi2 and shalt call me no more ,baali4 #bh3jjb3jag ,for ,i will take away the names of ,baalim out of her mouth1 and they shall no more be remembered by their name4 #bh3jjb3jah ,and in that day will ,i make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven1 and with the creeping things of the ground3 and ,i will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth1 and will make them to lie down safely4 #bh3jjb3jai ,and ,i will betroth thee unto me for ever2 yea1 ,i will betroth thee unto me in righteousness1 and in judgment1 and in lovingkindness1 and in mercies4 #bh3jjb3jbj ,i will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness3 and thou shalt know the ,,lord4 #bh3jjb3jba ,and it shall come to pass in that day1 ,i will hear1 saith the ,,lord1 ,i will hear the heavens1 and they shall hear the earth2 #bh3jjb3jbb ,and the earth shall hear the corn1 and the wine1 and the oil2 and they shall hear ,jezreel4 #bh3jjb3jbc ,and ,i will sow her unto me in the earth2 and ,i will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy2 and ,i will say to them which were not my people1 ,thou art my people2 and they shall say1 ,thou art my ,god4 #bh3jjc3jja ,then said the ,,lord unto me1 ,go yet1 love a woman beloved of her friend1 yet an adulteress1 according to the love of the ,,lord toward the children of ,israel1 who look to other gods1 and love flagons of wine4 #bh3jjc3jjb ,so ,i bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver1 and for an homer of barley1 and an half homer of barley3 #bh3jjc3jjc ,and ,i said unto her1 ,thou shalt abide for me many days2 thou shalt not play the harlot1 and thou shalt not be for another man3 so will ,i also be for thee4 #bh3jjc3jjd ,for the children of ,israel shall abide many days without a king1 and without a prince1 and without a sacrifice1 and without an image1 and without an ephod1 and without teraphim3 #bh3jjc3jje ,afterward shall the children of ,israel return1 and seek the ,,lord their ,god1 and ,david their king2 and shall fear the ,,lord and his goodness in the latter days4 #bh3jjd3jja ,hear the word of the ,,lord1 ye children of ,israel3 for the ,,lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land1 because there is no truth1 nor mercy1 nor knowledge of ,god in the land4 #bh3jjd3jjb ,by swearing1 and lying1 and killing1 and stealing1 and committing adultery1 they break out1 and blood toucheth blood4 #bh3jjd3jjc ,therefore shall the land mourn1 and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish1 with the beasts of the field1 and with the fowls of heaven2 yea1 the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away4 #bh3jjd3jjd ,yet let no man strive1 nor reprove another3 for thy people are as they that strive with the priest4 #bh3jjd3jje ,therefore shalt thou fall in the day1 and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night1 and ,i will destroy thy mother4 #bh3jjd3jjf ,my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge3 because thou hast rejected knowledge1 ,i will also reject thee1 that thou shalt be no priest to me3 seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy ,god1 ,i will also forget thy children4 #bh3jjd3jjg ,as they were increased1 so they sinned against me3 therefore will ,i change their glory into shame4 #bh3jjd3jjh ,they eat up the sin of my people1 and they set their heart on their iniquity4 #bh3jjd3jji ,and there shall be1 like people1 like priest3 and ,i will punish them for their ways1 and reward them their doings4 #bh3jjd3jaj ,for they shall eat1 and not have enough3 they shall commit whoredom1 and shall not increase3 because they have left off to take heed to the ,,lord4 #bh3jjd3jaa ,whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart4 #bh3jjd3jab ,my people ask counsel at their stocks1 and their staff declareth unto them3 for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err1 and they have gone a whoring from under their ,god4 #bh3jjd3jac ,they sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains1 and burn incense upon the hills1 under oaks and poplars and elms1 because the shadow thereof is good3 therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom1 and your spouses shall commit adultery4 #bh3jjd3jad ,i will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom1 nor your spouses when they commit adultery3 for themselves are separated with whores1 and they sacrifice with harlots3 therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall4 #bh3jjd3jae ,though thou1 ,israel1 play the harlot1 yet let not ,judah offend2 and come not ye unto ,gilgal1 neither go ye up to ,bethaven1 nor swear1 ,the ,,lord liveth4 #bh3jjd3jaf ,for ,israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer3 now the ,,lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place4 #bh3jjd3jag ,ephraim is joined to idols3 let him alone4 #bh3jjd3jah ,their drink is sour3 they have committed whoredom continually3 her rulers with shame do love1 ,give ye4 #bh3jjd3jai ,the wind hath bound her up in her wings1 and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices4 #bh3jje3jja ,hear ye this1 ,o priests2 and hearken1 ye house of ,israel2 and give ye ear1 ,o house of the king2 for judgment is toward you1 because ye have been a snare on ,mizpah1 and a net spread upon ,tabor4 #bh3jje3jjb ,and the revolters are profound to make slaughter1 though ,i have been a rebuker of them all4 #bh3jje3jjc ,i know ,ephraim1 and ,israel is not hid from me3 for now1 ,o ,ephraim1 thou committest whoredom1 and ,israel is defiled4 #bh3jje3jjd ,they will not frame their doings to turn unto their ,god3 for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them1 and they have not known the ,,lord4 #bh3jje3jje ,and the pride of ,israel doth testify to his face3 therefore shall ,israel and ,ephraim fall in their iniquity3 ,judah also shall fall with them4 #bh3jje3jjf ,they shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the ,,lord2 but they shall not find him2 he hath withdrawn himself from them4 #bh3jje3jjg ,they have dealt treacherously against the ,,lord3 for they have begotten strange children3 now shall a month devour them with their portions4 #bh3jje3jjh ,blow ye the cornet in ,gibeah1 and the trumpet in ,ramah3 cry aloud at ,bethaven1 after thee1 ,o ,benjamin4 #bh3jje3jji ,ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke3 among the tribes of ,israel have ,i made known that which shall surely be4 #bh3jje3jaj ,the princes of ,judah were like them that remove the bound3 therefore ,i will pour out my wrath upon them like water4 #bh3jje3jaa ,ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment1 because he willingly walked after the commandment4 #bh3jje3jab ,therefore will ,i be unto ,ephraim as a moth1 and to the house of ,judah as rottenness4 #bh3jje3jac ,when ,ephraim saw his sickness1 and ,judah saw his wound1 then went ,ephraim to the ,assyrian1 and sent to king ,jareb3 yet could he not heal you1 nor cure you of your wound4 #bh3jje3jad ,for ,i will be unto ,ephraim as a lion1 and as a young lion to the house of ,judah3 ,i1 even ,i1 will tear and go away2 ,i will take away1 and none shall rescue him4 #bh3jje3jae ,i will go and return to my place1 till they acknowledge their offence1 and seek my face3 in their affliction they will seek me early4 #bh3jjf3jja ,come1 and let us return unto the ,,lord3 for he hath torn1 and he will heal us2 he hath smitten1 and he will bind us up4 #bh3jjf3jjb ,after two days will he revive us3 in the third day he will raise us up1 and we shall live in his sight4 #bh3jjf3jjc ,then shall we know1 if we follow on to know the ,,lord3 his going forth is prepared as the morning2 and he shall come unto us as the rain1 as the latter and former rain unto the earth4 #bh3jjf3jjd ,o ,ephraim1 what shall ,i do unto thee8 ,o ,judah1 what shall ,i do unto thee8 for your goodness is as a morning cloud1 and as the early dew it goeth away4 #bh3jjf3jje ,therefore have ,i hewed them by the prophets2 ,i have slain them by the words of my mouth3 and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth4 #bh3jjf3jjf ,for ,i desired mercy1 and not sacrifice2 and the knowledge of ,god more than burnt offerings4 #bh3jjf3jjg ,but they like men have transgressed the covenant3 there have they dealt treacherously against me4 #bh3jjf3jjh ,gilead is a city of them that work iniquity1 and is polluted with blood4 #bh3jjf3jji ,and as troops of robbers wait for a man1 so the company of priests murder in the way by consent3 for they commit lewdness4 #bh3jjf3jaj ,i have seen an horrible thing in the house of ,israel3 there is the whoredom of ,ephraim1 ,israel is defiled4 #bh3jjf3jaa ,also1 ,o ,judah1 he hath set an harvest for thee1 when ,i returned the captivity of my people4 #bh3jjg3jja ,when ,i would have healed ,israel1 then the iniquity of ,ephraim was discovered1 and the wickedness of ,samaria3 for they commit falsehood2 and the thief cometh in1 and the troop of robbers spoileth without4 #bh3jjg3jjb ,and they consider not in their hearts that ,i remember all their wickedness3 now their own doings have beset them about2 they are before my face4 #bh3jjg3jjc ,they make the king glad with their wickedness1 and the princes with their lies4 #bh3jjg3jjd ,they are all adulterers1 as an oven heated by the baker1 who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough1 until it be leavened4 #bh3jjg3jje ,in the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine2 he stretched out his hand with scorners4 #bh3jjg3jjf ,for they have made ready their heart like an oven1 whiles they lie in wait3 their baker sleepeth all the night2 in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire4 #bh3jjg3jjg ,they are all hot as an oven1 and have devoured their judges2 all their kings are fallen3 there is none among them that calleth unto me4 #bh3jjg3jjh ,ephraim1 he hath mixed himself among the people2 ,ephraim is a cake not turned4 #bh3jjg3jji ,strangers have devoured his strength1 and he knoweth it not3 yea1 gray hairs are here and there upon him1 yet he knoweth not4 #bh3jjg3jaj ,and the pride of ,israel testifieth to his face3 and they do not return to the ,,lord their ,god1 nor seek him for all this4 #bh3jjg3jaa ,ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart3 they call to ,egypt1 they go to ,assyria4 #bh3jjg3jab ,when they shall go1 ,i will spread my net upon them2 ,i will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven2 ,i will chastise them1 as their congregation hath heard4 #bh3jjg3jac ,woe unto them6 for they have fled from me3 destruction unto them6 because they have transgressed against me3 though ,i have redeemed them1 yet they have spoken lies against me4 #bh3jjg3jad ,and they have not cried unto me with their heart1 when they howled upon their beds3 they assemble themselves for corn and wine1 and they rebel against me4 #bh3jjg3jae ,though ,i have bound and strengthened their arms1 yet do they imagine mischief against me4 #bh3jjg3jaf ,they return1 but not to the most ,high3 they are like a deceitful bow3 their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue3 this shall be their derision in the land of ,egypt4 #bh3jjh3jja ,set the trumpet to thy mouth4 ,he shall come as an eagle against the house of the ,,lord1 because they have transgressed my covenant1 and trespassed against my law4 #bh3jjh3jjb ,israel shall cry unto me1 ,my ,god1 we know thee4 #bh3jjh3jjc ,israel hath cast off the thing that is good3 the enemy shall pursue him4 #bh3jjh3jjd ,they have set up kings1 but not by me3 they have made princes1 and ,i knew it not3 of their silver and their gold have they made them idols1 that they may be cut off4 #bh3jjh3jje ,thy calf1 ,o ,samaria1 hath cast thee off2 mine anger is kindled against them3 how long will it be ere they attain to innocency8 #bh3jjh3jjf ,for from ,israel was it also3 the workman made it2 therefore it is not ,god3 but the calf of ,samaria shall be broken in pieces4 #bh3jjh3jjg ,for they have sown the wind1 and they shall reap the whirlwind3 it hath no stalk2 the bud shall yield no meal3 if so be it yield1 the strangers shall swallow it up4 #bh3jjh3jjh ,israel is swallowed up3 now shall they be among the ,gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure4 #bh3jjh3jji ,for they are gone up to ,assyria1 a wild ass alone by himself3 ,ephraim hath hired lovers4 #bh3jjh3jaj ,yea1 though they have hired among the nations1 now will ,i gather them1 and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes4 #bh3jjh3jaa ,because ,ephraim hath made many altars to sin1 altars shall be unto him to sin4 #bh3jjh3jab ,i have written to him the great things of my law1 but they were counted as a strange thing4 #bh3jjh3jac ,they sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings1 and eat it2 but the ,,lord accepteth them not2 now will he remember their iniquity1 and visit their sins3 they shall return to ,egypt4 #bh3jjh3jad ,for ,israel hath forgotten his ,maker1 and buildeth temples2 and ,judah hath multiplied fenced cities3 but ,i will send a fire upon his cities1 and it shall devour the palaces thereof4 #bh3jji3jja ,rejoice not1 ,o ,israel1 for joy1 as other people3 for thou hast gone a whoring from thy ,god1 thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor4 #bh3jji3jjb ,the floor and the winepress shall not feed them1 and the new wine shall fail in her4 #bh3jji3jjc ,they shall not dwell in the ,,lord's land2 but ,ephraim shall return to ,egypt1 and they shall eat unclean things in ,assyria4 #bh3jji3jjd ,they shall not offer wine offerings to the ,,lord1 neither shall they be pleasing unto him3 their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners2 all that eat thereof shall be polluted3 for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the ,,lord4 #bh3jji3jje ,what will ye do in the solemn day1 and in the day of the feast of the ,,lord8 #bh3jji3jjf ,for1 lo1 they are gone because of destruction3 ,egypt shall gather them up1 ,memphis shall bury them3 the pleasant places for their silver1 nettles shall possess them3 thorns shall be in their tabernacles4 #bh3jji3jjg ,the days of visitation are come1 the days of recompence are come2 ,israel shall know it3 the prophet is a fool1 the spiritual man is mad1 for the multitude of thine iniquity1 and the great hatred4 #bh3jji3jjh ,the watchman of ,ephraim was with my ,god3 but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways1 and hatred in the house of his ,god4 #bh3jji3jji ,they have deeply corrupted themselves1 as in the days of ,gibeah3 therefore he will remember their iniquity1 he will visit their sins4 #bh3jji3jaj ,i found ,israel like grapes in the wilderness2 ,i saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time3 but they went to ,baalpeor1 and separated themselves unto that shame2 and their abominations were according as they loved4 #bh3jji3jaa ,as for ,ephraim1 their glory shall fly away like a bird1 from the birth1 and from the womb1 and from the conception4 #bh3jji3jab ,though they bring up their children1 yet will ,i bereave them1 that there shall not be a man left3 yea1 woe also to them when ,i depart from them6 #bh3jji3jac ,ephraim1 as ,i saw ,tyrus1 is planted in a pleasant place3 but ,ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer4 #bh3jji3jad ,give them1 ,o ,,lord3 what wilt thou give8 give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts4 #bh3jji3jae ,all their wickedness is in ,gilgal3 for there ,i hated them3 for the wickedness of their doings ,i will drive them out of mine house1 ,i will love them no more3 all their princes are revolters4 #bh3jji3jaf ,ephraim is smitten1 their root is dried up1 they shall bear no fruit3 yea1 though they bring forth1 yet will ,i slay even the beloved fruit of their womb4 #bh3jji3jag ,my ,god will cast them away1 because they did not hearken unto him3 and they shall be wanderers among the nations4 #bh3jaj3jja ,israel is an empty vine1 he bringeth forth fruit unto himself3 according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars2 according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images4 #bh3jaj3jjb ,their heart is divided2 now shall they be found faulty3 he shall break down their altars1 he shall spoil their images4 #bh3jaj3jjc ,for now they shall say1 ,we have no king1 because we feared not the ,,lord2 what then should a king do to us8 #bh3jaj3jjd ,they have spoken words1 swearing falsely in making a covenant3 thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field4 #bh3jaj3jje ,the inhabitants of ,samaria shall fear because of the calves of ,bethaven3 for the people thereof shall mourn over it1 and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it1 for the glory thereof1 because it is departed from it4 #bh3jaj3jjf ,it shall be also carried unto ,assyria for a present to king ,jareb3 ,ephraim shall receive shame1 and ,israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel4 #bh3jaj3jjg ,as for ,samaria1 her king is cut off as the foam upon the water4 #bh3jaj3jjh ,the high places also of ,aven1 the sin of ,israel1 shall be destroyed3 the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars2 and they shall say to the mountains1 ,cover us2 and to the hills1 ,fall on us4 #bh3jaj3jji ,o ,israel1 thou hast sinned from the days of ,gibeah3 there they stood3 the battle in ,gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them4 #bh3jaj3jaj ,it is in my desire that ,i should chastise them2 and the people shall be gathered against them1 when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows4 #bh3jaj3jaa ,and ,ephraim is as an heifer that is taught1 and loveth to tread out the corn2 but ,i passed over upon her fair neck3 ,i will make ,ephraim to ride2 ,judah shall plow1 and ,jacob shall break his clods4 #bh3jaj3jab ,sow to yourselves in righteousness1 reap in mercy2 break up your fallow ground3 for it is time to seek the ,,lord1 till he come and rain righteousness upon you4 #bh3jaj3jac ,ye have plowed wickedness1 ye have reaped iniquity2 ye have eaten the fruit of lies3 because thou didst trust in thy way1 in the multitude of thy mighty men4 #bh3jaj3jad ,therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people1 and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled1 as ,shalman spoiled ,betharbel in the day of battle3 the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children4 #bh3jaj3jae ,so shall ,bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness3 in a morning shall the king of ,israel utterly be cut off4 #bh3jaa3jja ,when ,israel was a child1 then ,i loved him1 and called my son out of ,egypt4 #bh3jaa3jjb ,as they called them1 so they went from them3 they sacrificed unto ,baalim1 and burned incense to graven images4 #bh3jaa3jjc ,i taught ,ephraim also to go1 taking them by their arms2 but they knew not that ,i healed them4 #bh3jaa3jjd ,i drew them with cords of a man1 with bands of love3 and ,i was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws1 and ,i laid meat unto them4 #bh3jaa3jje ,he shall not return into the land of ,egypt1 and the ,assyrian shall be his king1 because they refused to return4 #bh3jaa3jjf ,and the sword shall abide on his cities1 and shall consume his branches1 and devour them1 because of their own counsels4 #bh3jaa3jjg ,and my people are bent to backsliding from me3 though they called them to the most ,high1 none at all would exalt him4 #bh3jaa3jjh ,how shall ,i give thee up1 ,ephraim8 how shall ,i deliver thee1 ,israel8 how shall ,i make thee as ,admah8 how shall ,i set thee as ,zeboim8 mine heart is turned within me1 my repentings are kindled together4 #bh3jaa3jji ,i will not execute the fierceness of mine anger1 ,i will not return to destroy ,ephraim3 for ,i am ,god1 and not man2 the ,holy ,one in the midst of thee3 and ,i will not enter into the city4 #bh3jaa3jaj ,they shall walk after the ,,lord3 he shall roar like a lion3 when he shall roar1 then the children shall tremble from the west4 #bh3jaa3jaa ,they shall tremble as a bird out of ,egypt1 and as a dove out of the land of ,assyria3 and ,i will place them in their houses1 saith the ,,lord4 #bh3jaa3jab ,ephraim compasseth me about with lies1 and the house of ,israel with deceit3 but ,judah yet ruleth with ,god1 and is faithful with the saints4 #bh3jab3jja ,ephraim feedeth on wind1 and followeth after the east wind3 he daily increaseth lies and desolation2 and they do make a covenant with the ,assyrians1 and oil is carried into ,egypt4 #bh3jab3jjb ,the ,,lord hath also a controversy with ,judah1 and will punish ,jacob according to his ways2 according to his doings will he recompense him4 #bh3jab3jjc ,he took his brother by the heel in the womb1 and by his strength he had power with ,god3 #bh3jab3jjd ,yea1 he had power over the angel1 and prevailed3 he wept1 and made supplication unto him3 he found him in ,bethel1 and there he spake with us2 #bh3jab3jje ,even the ,,lord ,god of hosts2 the ,,lord is his memorial4 #bh3jab3jjf ,therefore turn thou to thy ,god3 keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy ,god continually4 #bh3jab3jjg ,he is a merchant1 the balances of deceit are in his hand3 he loveth to oppress4 #bh3jab3jjh ,and ,ephraim said1 ,yet ,i am become rich1 ,i have found me out substance3 in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin4 #bh3jab3jji ,and ,i that am the ,,lord thy ,god from the land of ,egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles1 as in the days of the solemn feast4 #bh3jab3jaj ,i have also spoken by the prophets1 and ,i have multiplied visions1 and used similitudes1 by the ministry of the prophets4 #bh3jab3jaa ,is there iniquity in ,gilead8 surely they are vanity3 they sacrifice bullocks in ,gilgal2 yea1 their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields4 #bh3jab3jab ,and ,jacob fled into the country of ,syria1 and ,israel served for a wife1 and for a wife he kept sheep4 #bh3jab3jac ,and by a prophet the ,,lord brought ,israel out of ,egypt1 and by a prophet was he preserved4 #bh3jab3jad ,ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly3 therefore shall he leave his blood upon him1 and his reproach shall his ,,lord return unto him4 #bh3jac3jja ,when ,ephraim spake trembling1 he exalted himself in ,israel2 but when he offended in ,baal1 he died4 #bh3jac3jjb ,and now they sin more and more1 and have made them molten images of their silver1 and idols according to their own understanding1 all of it the work of the craftsmen3 they say of them1 ,let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves4 #bh3jac3jjc ,therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passeth away1 as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor1 and as the smoke out of the chimney4 #bh3jac3jjd ,yet ,i am the ,,lord thy ,god from the land of ,egypt1 and thou shalt know no god but me3 for there is no saviour beside me4 #bh3jac3jje ,i did know thee in the wilderness1 in the land of great drought4 #bh3jac3jjf ,according to their pasture1 so were they filled2 they were filled1 and their heart was exalted2 therefore have they forgotten me4 #bh3jac3jjg ,therefore ,i will be unto them as a lion3 as a leopard by the way will ,i observe them3 #bh3jac3jjh ,i will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps1 and will rend the caul of their heart1 and there will ,i devour them like a
