13 “When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
He exalted himself in Israel,
but he became guilty through Baal and died.
2 And now they sin more and more,
and they make for themselves cast metal images,
idols skillfully made from their silver,
all of them the work of craftsmen.
They say of them,
‘Those who sacrifice people kiss calves.’
3 Therefore they will be like the morning clouds,
and like the dew that goes away early,
like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor,
and like smoke from a window.
4 But I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt;
and you were to know no god except me,
for there is no savior besides me.
5 I knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of drought.
6 When they had their pasture, then they became full;
they were filled, and their heart became lifted up.
Therefore they forgot me.
7 So I will become like a lion to them;
like a leopard I will lurk along the path.
8 I will encounter them like a bear robbed of her cubs.
I will rip open their chests,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
as a wild beast would tear them apart.
9 He destroys you, O Israel;
for you are against me, against your helper.
10 Where now is your king,
that he may save you in all your cities,
and your rulers, about whom you said,
‘Give me a king and princes’?
11 I gave you a king in my anger,
and I took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
his sin is stored up.
13 Pains of childbirth will come on him,
but he is an unwise son,
for at the right time he does not present himself at the opening of the womb.
14 Will I ransom them from the hand of Sheol?
Will I redeem them from death?
Where, O Death, are your plagues?
Where, O Sheol, is your destruction?
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.”
15 Though he flourishes among his brothers,
an east wind will come;
the wind of Yahweh will come up from the wilderness.
His fountain will dry up,
and his spring will be parched.
It will plunder his treasury of every precious object.
16 Samaria will be held guilty,
for she has rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword;
their young children will be dashed to pieces,
and their pregnant women will be ripped open.
