Oseas 13,1-16
Chapter XIII.
1 Ephraims glory, by reason of idolatry, vanisheth. 5 Gods anger for their vnkindnes. 9 A promise of Gods mercie. 15 A iudgement for rebellion.
1 When Ephraim spake, trembling, he exalted himselfe in Israel, but, when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 And now [ Hebrew: they adde to sinne.] they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding, all of it the worke of the craftesmen: they say of them, Let the [ Or, the sacrificers of men.] men that sacrifice, kisse the calues.
3 Therefore they shalbe as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewinde out of the floore, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God [ Isa_43:11; Hos_12:10.] from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God, but me: for there is no sauiour beside me.
5 I did know thee in the wildernesse, in the land of [ Hebrew: droughts.] great drought.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will bee vnto them as a Lion, as a Leopard by the way will I obserue them.
8 I will meet them as a beare that is bereaued of her whelpes, and will rent the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a Lion: [ Hebrew: the beast of the field.] the wilde beast shall teare them.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroied thy selfe, but in me [ Hebrew: in thy helpe.] is thine helpe.
10 I will be thy King: where is any other that may saue thee in all thy cities?
[Calues of the lips.]
and thy Iudges of whom thou saidst, Giue me a King and Princes?
11 I gaue thee a [ 1Sa_8:5 ; 1Sa_15:23 ; 1Sa_16:1 .] king in mine anger, and tooke him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquitie of Ephraim is bound vp: his sinne is hid.
13 The sorrowes of a traueiling woman shall come vpon him, he is an vnwise sonne, for he should not stay [ Hebrew: a time.] long in the place of the breaking foorth of children.
14 I will ransome them from the [ Hebrew: the hand.] power of the graue: I will redeeme them from death: [ 1Co_15:55 .] O death, I will be thy plagues, O graue, I will be thy destruction; repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
15 Though he be fruitfull among his brethren, [ Eze_19:12 .] an East winde shall come, the winde of the Lord shall come vp from the wildernesse, and his spring shall become drie, and his fountaine shalbe dried vp: he shall spoile the treasure of all [ Hebrew: vessels of desire.] pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria shall become desolate, for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shalbe dashed in pieces, and their women with childe shalbe ript vp.
