Hosea 13
NASB



Ephraim’s Idolatry

Tools
1
(A)When Ephraim (a)spoke, there was trembling.
He (B)exalted himself in Israel,
But through (C)Baal he (b)did wrong and died.
Tools
2
And now they sin more and more,
And make for themselves (D)molten images,
Idols (c)(E)skillfully made from their silver,
All of them the (F)work of craftsmen.
They say of them, “Let the (d)men who sacrifice kiss the (G)calves!”
Tools
3
Therefore they will be like the (H)morning cloud
And like dew which (e)soon disappears,
Like (I)chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor
And like (J)smoke from a (f)chimney.
Tools
4
Yet I have been the (K)Lord your God
Since the land of Egypt;
And you were not to know (L)any god except Me,
For there is no savior (M)besides Me.
Tools
5
I (g)(N)cared for you in the wilderness,
(O)In the land of drought.
Tools
6
As they had their pasture, they became (P)satisfied,
And being satisfied, their (Q)heart became proud;
Therefore they (R)forgot Me.
Tools
7
So I will be (S)like a lion to them;
Like a (T)leopard I will (h)lie in wait by the wayside.
Tools
8
I will encounter them (U)like a bear robbed of her cubs,
And I will tear open (i)their chests;
There I will also (V)devour them like a lioness,
As a wild beast would tear them.
Tools
9
It is your destruction, O Israel,
(j)That you are (W)against Me, against your (X)help.
Tools
10
Where now is your (Y)king
That he may save you in all your cities,
And your (Z)judges of whom you (k)requested,
“Give me a king and princes”?
Tools
11
I (AA)gave you a king in My anger
And (AB)took him away in My wrath.
Tools
12
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
His sin is (AC)stored up.
Tools
13
The pains of (AD)childbirth come upon him;
He is (AE)not a wise son,
For (l)it is not the time that he should (AF)delay at the opening of the womb.
Tools
14
Shall I (AG)ransom them from the (m)power of Sheol?
Shall I redeem them from death?
(AH)O Death, where are your thorns?
O Sheol, where is your sting?
(AI)Compassion will be hidden from My sight.
Tools
15
Though he (AJ)flourishes among the (n)reeds,
An (AK)east wind will come,
The wind of the Lord coming up from the wilderness;
And his fountain will (AL)become dry
And his spring will be dried up;
It will (AM)plunder his treasury of every precious article.
Tools
16
(o)Samaria will be held (AN)guilty,
For she has (AO)rebelled against her God.
(AP)They will fall by the (AQ)sword,
Their little ones will be (AR)dashed in pieces,
And their pregnant (AS)women will be ripped open.
