And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel were gathered together, and they appointed to them one head, and they came up out of the land: for great the day of Jezreel.

And her sons I will not compassionate, for they are the sons of fornications

And she knew not that I gave to her grain, and new wine, and new oil. and I multiplied silver to her, and gold they made for Baal.

And I destroyed her vine and her fig tree, of which she said, They are wages to me which those loving me gave to me: and I set them for a forest, and the beasts of the field ate them.

And I put away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

And it was in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;

And the earth shall answer the grain and the new wine and the new oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.

And I sowed her to me in the earth; and I compassionated her Not being compassionated; and I said to Not my people, Thou my people; and they will say, My God.

And Jehovah will say to me, Yet go, love a woman loving evil and an adulteress, as Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, and they took to other gods and love raisin-cakes.

Afterward the sons of Israel shall turn back and they sought Jehovah their God, and David their king; and they trembled at Jehovah and at his goodness in the last of the days.

Swearing and lying, and breaking in pieces, and stealing and committing adultery, they broke forth; and bloods touched upon bloods.

As they multiplied so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into dishonor.

They will eat up the sin of my people, and they will lift up their soul to their iniquity.

For they ate and they shall not be satisfied, and they committed fornication and they shall not spread abroad: for with Jehovah they left off to watch.

My people will ask in their counsel, and with their rod they will announce to them: for the spirit of fornications caused to err, and they will commit fornication from under their God.

Upon the heads of the mountains they will sacrifice, and upon the hills they will burn incense, under the oak and the white poplar and the terebinth, because its shadow was good: for this your daughters will commit fornication, and your brides shall commit adultery.

I will not review over your daughters when they shall commit fornication, and over your brides when they shall commit adultery: fur they will separate themselves with harlots, and with prostitutes will they sacrifice: and the people will not understand, they shall be thrown down.

Their drinking bout departed: committing fornication, they committed fornication: they loved, give ye shame upon her shields.

The wind bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed of their sacrifices

They will not give their doings to turn back to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they knew not Jehovah.

With their sheep and with their oxen they will go to seek Jehovah; and they shall not find; he withdrew himself from them.

Against Jehovah they acted faithlessly: for they begat strange sons: now shall the new moon consume them with their portions.

The princes of Judah were as they removing the bound: upon them will I pour out my wrath as water.

I will go and turn back to my place, even till when they shall be guilty, and they sought my face: in straitness to them they will turn to me.

And they as man passed by the covenant: there they acted faithlessly against me.

As troops waiting for a man, the company of priests will break in pieces the way with the shoulder: for they did wickedness.

As I healed to Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the evils of Shomeron: for they did falsehood, and the thief will come in, and the troop invaded without

And they will not say to their heart, I remembered all their evil: now their doings surrounded them; they were before my face.

By their evil they will gladden the king, and the chiefs by their falsehoods.

For they drew near their heart as a furnace in their lying in wait: all the night their baker slept; in the morning it burnt as the fire of flame.

They were all hot as a furnace, and they consumed their judges; all their kings fell: none among them calling to me.

And the pride of Israel was humbled in his face: and they turned not back to Jehovah their God. and sought him not in all this

And Ephraim will be as an enticed dove, not a heart: they called Egypt, they went to Assur.

When they shall go I will spread my net upon them; as birds of the heavens I will bring them down; I will correct them when hearing to their assembly.

Wo! to them, for they fled from me: destruction to them because they transgressed against me: and I will redeem them and they spake falsehoods against me.

And they cried not to me in their heart, for they shall wail upon their beds: for corn and new wine they will assemble themselves together; they will turn aside against me..

And I corrected and strengthened their arms, and they will purpose evil against me.

They will turn back not to the Highest: they were as a bow of deceit: their chiefs shall fall by the sword from the wrath of their tongue: this their derision in the land of Egypt

The trumpet to thy mouth: as an eagle upon the house of Jehovah, because they passed by my covenant and they transgressed against my laws.

They made kings, and not from me: and they made princes, and I knew not: their silver and their gold they made to them images to cut off.

Thy calf rejected, O Shomeron; mine anger was kindled against them: how long shall they not be able to be clean?

For they shall sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: no stalk to it: the sprout shall not make flour: perhaps it will make, strangers will swallow it down.

Israel was swallowed down: now they were among the nations as a vessel no delight in it.

For they went up to Assur, Ephraim a wild ass alone to himself: they hired those loving.

Also if they will hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and shall they be weak a little from the lifting up of the king of the princes.

I will write to him his multitude of my instructions; they were reckoned as a strange thing.

The sacrifices of my gifts they will sacrifice flesh, and they will eat; Jehovah delighted not in them; now will he remember their iniquity, and he will review their sins: they shall turn back to Egypt

They shall not dwell in the land of Jehovah; and Ephraim turned back to Egypt, and in Assur they shall eat the unclean thing.

They shall not pour out wine to Jehovah, and they shall not be pleasant to him: their sacrifices as the bread of sorrows to them; all eating it shall be defiled: for their bread for their soul shall not come in to the house of Jehovah.

For behold, they went from destruction: Egypt shall gather them together; Memphis shall bury them: the desire for their silver, the prickly weed shall possess them: the thorn in their tents.

They made deep, they were corrupted as the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquity, he will review their sins.

I found Israel as grapes in the desert; as the first fruit in the fig-tree in her beginning I saw your fathers: they went to Baal-Peor, and they will separate themselves to shame, and their abominable things will be according to their love.

But if they shall bring up their sons and I bereaved them from man: but also wo to them in my departing from them.

Ephraim was smitten, their root was dried up, they shall not make fruit: also if they shall bring forth, and I destroyed the desires of their womb.

God will reject them, for they heard not to him: and they will be wandering about among the nations.

Israel an empty vine, he will place fruit to himself: according to the multitude to his fruit he multiplied to his altars; according to the goodness of his land they made good pillars.

Their heart was divided; now shall they be guilty: he will break down their altars, he shall lay waste their images

For now they will say, No king to us because we feared not Jehovah; and what shall the king do to us?

They spake words swearing falsehood, cutting out a covenant: and judgment broke forth as the head upon the furrows of the field

For the calves of the house of vanity they shall fear dwelling in Shomeron: for his people mourned over it, and his priests will exult over it, for its glory, for it was removed from it

And the heights of vanity were destroyed, the sin of Israel: the thorn and weeds shall come up upon their altars; and they said to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall upon us.

From the days of the hill thou didst sin, O Israel: there they stood: the battle in the hill against the sons of iniquity shall not overtake them.

They called to them, thus they went from them: they will sacrifice to the Baals, and to the carved images they will burn incense.

And I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; and they knew not that I healed them.

He shall not turn back to the land of Egypt, and Assur shall be his king, for they refused to turn back.

And my people are bent to turning away from me: and they will call together to the Most High; he will not exalt them.

They shall go after Jehovah: as a lion shall he roar: for he shall roar, and the sons of the waters shall tremble.

They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assur: and I caused them to dwell in their houses, says Jehovah.

Ephraim fed upon the wind, and he pursued the east wind: all the day he multiplied falsehood and destruction; and they will cut out a covenant with Assur, and oil will be brought to Egypt

If Gilead nothing? Surely they were vanity: in Gilgal they sacrificed oxen; also their altars as heaps upon the furrows of the field.

And now they will add to sin, and they will make to them a molten image of their silver, in their understanding images the work of artificers all of it: they saying to them, The men sacrificing shall kiss the calves.

For this they shall be as the cloud of the morning, and as the early dew going way; as the chaff will be driven from the threshing-floor on the wind, and as the smoke from the chimney.

According to their pasture, and they will be satiated; they were satiated, and their heart will be lifted up: for this they forgat me.

Shomeron shall be guilty, for she rebelled against her God: by the sword shall they fall: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and they having conceived shall be cleft asunder.

They sitting in his shadow shall turn back; they shall live upon the grain, and they shall blossom as the vine: his remembrance as the wine of Lebanon.

Who being wise, and he shall understand these things? and knowing, and he shall know them? for the ways of Jehovah are straight, and the just shall go in them: and they transgressing shall be weak in them.
