Ephraim
feedeth
on wind,
and followeth
after the east wind:
he daily
increaseth
lies
and desolation;
and they do make
a covenant
with the Assyrians,
and oil
is carried
into Egypt.

The LORD
hath also a controversy
with Judah,
and will punish
Jacob
according to his ways;
according to his doings
will he recompense
him.
He took his brother
by the heel
in the womb,
and by his strength
he had power
with God:
Yea, he had power
over the angel,
and prevailed:
he wept,
and made supplication
unto him: he found
him in Bethel,
and there he spake
with us;
Even the LORD
God
of hosts;
the LORD
is his memorial.
Therefore turn
thou to thy God:
keep
mercy
and judgment,
and wait
on thy God
continually.
He is a merchant,
the balances
of deceit
are in his hand:
he loveth
to oppress.
And Ephraim
said,
Yet I am become rich,
I have found me out
substance:
in all my labours
they shall find
none iniquity
in me that were sin.
And I that am the LORD
thy God
from the land
of Egypt
will yet make thee to dwell
in tabernacles,
as in the days
of the solemn feast.
I have also spoken
by the prophets,
and I have multiplied
visions,
and used similitudes,
by the ministry
of the prophets.
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.

And Jacob
fled
into the country
of Syria,
and Israel
served
for a wife,
and for a wife
he kept
sheep.
And by a prophet
the LORD
brought
Israel
out of Egypt,
and by a prophet
was he preserved.
Ephraim
provoked him to anger
most bitterly:
therefore shall he leave
his blood
upon him, and his reproach
shall his Lord
return
unto him.
