And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.

You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.

The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing.

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.

For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place.

When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.

The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.

They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.

In the body of his mother he took his brother by the foot, and in his strength he was fighting with God;

He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;

When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.
