But, she, owneth not, that, I, gave her - the corn, and the new wine and the oil, - silver, also increased I unto her, and gold - which they offered to Baal!

And I will punish her for the days of the Baals
when she burned incense to them,
put on her rings and jewelry,

But let no one dispute; let no one argue,
for My case is against you priests.

They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord.

I will not punish your daughters for being defiled, and your brides that became whores: seeing the fathers themselves have meddled with harlots, and offered with unthriftiness: but the people that will not understand must be punished.

And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser of them all.

But Judah shall have a harvest for himself, when I return the captivity of my people.

They consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. They go about with their own inventions, but I see them well enough.

Foreigners consume his strength,
but he does not notice.
Even his hair is streaked with gray,
but he does not notice.

And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.

but while they be going here and there, I shall spread my net over them, and draw them down as the fowls of the air. And according as they have been warned, so will I punish them.

I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but they imagine mischief against me.

They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

For the calf came from Israel; the workman made it: therefore can it be no God, but even to a spider's web shall the calf of Samaria be turned.

They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.

They pour out no wine for a drink offering unto the LORD, neither give they him their slain offerings: but they be unto them as mourner's meats, wherein all they that eat them are defiled. For the bread that they have such lust unto, shall not come into the house of the LORD.

There they (Israel) stand!
Will not the battle against the sons of wickedness overtake them at Gibeah?

And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loves to tread out [the grain]. But I have passed over upon her fair neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah shall plow. Jacob shall break his clods.

But now they have plowed them wickedness, therefore shall they reap sin, and eat the fruit of lies. Seeing thou puttest thy confidence in thine own ways, and leanest to the multitude of thy worthies:

And like doves from the land of Assyria;
And I will settle them in their houses [in the land of their inheritance], declares the Lord.

Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with God, and with the holy things of truth.

Maintain love and justice,
and always put your hope in God.

And now they sin more and more. Of their silver, they make them molten Images, like the idols of the Heathen, and yet all is nothing but the work of the craftsmen. Notwithstanding they preach of the same: whoso will kiss the calves, offereth to men.

Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me.

But when they were well fed and had enough, they waxed proud, and forgot me.

O Israel, thou doest but destroy thyself; In me only is thy help.

Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me is thy help, Where is thy king now -- And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, 'Give to me a king and heads?'

The labor pains of a woman will overtake him, but the baby will lack wisdom; when the time arrives, he will not come out of the womb!
