When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. Hos 11:2Gen 2:17Jos 3:7Luk 14:11Num 27:16-231Ki 12:251Ki 16:29-331Ki 18:18-19
He exalted himself in Israel,
but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
Now they sin more and more, 1Ki 19:18Isa 44:17-20Isa 46:6Hos 2:8Jer 10:4Hab 2:18-192Ti 3:13Rom 1:22-25
and have made themselves molten images of their silver,
even idols according to their own understanding,
all of them the work of the craftsmen.
They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
Therefore they will be like the morning mist, Hos 6:4Psa 1:4Psa 68:2Dan 2:35Isa 17:13Isa 41:15-16Psa 83:12-17
like the dew that passes away early,
like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor,
and like the smoke out of the chimney.
“Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; Isa 45:21-22Exo 20:2-3Hos 12:9Isa 43:10-13Isa 43:3Act 4:12Isa 44:6-8Psa 81:9-10
and you shall acknowledge no god but me,
and besides me there is no savior.
I knew you in the wilderness, Deu 32:10Deu 2:7Deu 8:15Gal 4:9Psa 142:3Exo 2:25Jer 2:2Nam 1:7
in the land of great drought.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; Deu 32:13-15Deu 8:12-14Deu 32:18Deu 6:10-12Neh 9:35Psa 10:4Hos 10:1Hos 2:13
they were filled, and their heart was exalted.
Therefore they have forgotten me.
Therefore I am like a lion to them. Hos 5:14Jer 5:6Lam 3:10Amo 1:2Amo 3:4Amo 3:8Isa 42:13
Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, 2Sa 17:8Isa 5:29Amo 9:1-3Isa 56:9Jer 12:9Pro 17:12Psa 50:22Psa 80:13
and will tear the covering of their heart.
There I will devour them like a lioness.
The wild animal will tear them.
You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, Jer 2:17Jer 2:19Deu 33:26Deu 33:29Hos 14:1Isa 3:11Jer 5:25Pro 6:32
against your helper.
Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? Hos 8:41Sa 8:5-6Hos 10:3Zec 14:91Ki 12:201Sa 12:11-121Sa 8:19-202Ki 17:4
And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
I have given you a king in my anger, 1Sa 10:191Sa 16:1Pro 28:21Ki 12:15-161Ki 12:26-321Ki 14:7-161Sa 12:131Sa 15:22-23
and have taken him away in my wrath.
The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. Deu 32:34-35Job 14:17Rom 2:5Job 21:19
His sin is stored up.
The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. Isa 37:3Isa 13:8Isa 26:172Ki 19:3Mic 4:9-10Psa 48:61Th 5:3Isa 66:9
He is an unwise son,
for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb.
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. 1 Isa 25:81Co 15:52-57Rev 21:4Isa 26:19Jas 1:17Psa 49:151Co 15:21-22Psa 30:3
I will redeem them from death!
Death, where are your plagues?
Sheol, where is your destruction?
“Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.
Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, Ezk 19:12Ezk 17:10Gen 41:52Gen 48:19Gen 49:22Jer 4:11Dan 11:8Deu 33:17
the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness;
and his spring will become dry,
and his fountain will be dried up.
He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
Samaria will bear her guilt, 2Ki 15:162Ki 8:12Isa 13:16Psa 137:8-9Amo 1:13Nam 3:102Ki 17:182Ki 17:6
for she has rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword.
Their infants will be dashed in pieces,
and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
