0 1 A reproose of Ephraim, Iudah, and Iacob. 3 By former fauours he exhorteth to repentance. 7 Ephraims sinnes prouoke God. XII ¶ Ephraim feedeth on winde, and followeth after the East winde: hee daily increaseth lies and desolation, and they doe make a couenant with the Assyrians, and oyle is caried into Egypt. 2 [fn]The LORD hath also a controuersie with Iudah, and will punish Iacob according to his wayes, according to his doings will he recompense him. 3 ¶ [fn][fn][fn]Hee tooke his brother by the heele in the wombe, and by his strength he had power with God. 4 [fn]Yea, he had power ouer the Angel and preuailed: hee wept and made supplication vnto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with vs. 5 [fn]Euen the LORD God of hosts, the LORD is his memoriall. 6 Therefore turne thou to thy God: keepe mercie and iudgement, and wait on thy God continually. 7 ¶ [fn][fn]He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: hee loueth to oppresse. 8 [fn][fn]And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I haue found mee out substance: in all my labours they shall finde none iniquitie in mee, that were sinne. 9 And I that am the LORD thy God from the lande of Egypt, will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the dayes of the solemne feast. 10 [fn]I haue also spoken by the prophets, and I haue multiplied visions, and vsed similitudes, by the ministerie of the prophets. 11 [fn]Is there iniquitie in Gilead? surely they are vanitie, they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal, yea their altars are as heapes in the furrowes of the fields. 12 [fn][fn]And Iacob fled into the countrey of Syria, and Israel serued for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheepe. 13 [fn]And by a Prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a Prophet was he preserued. 14 [fn][fn]Ephraim prouoked him to anger, most bitterly: therefore shall he leaue his blood vpon him, and his reproch shall his LORD returne vnto him.
