The word of Jehovah which was to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel.

And it was in that day and I broke the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

And the number of the sons of Israel was as the sand of the sea which shall not be measured and shall not be numbered: and it was in the place which it shall be said to them, Ye are not my people, and it shall be said to them, Ye the sons of the living God.

And she pursued those loving her, and she shall not overtake them; and she sought them and she shall not find: and she said, I will go and turn back to my former husband, for it was well to me then more than now.

And I gave to her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she was humbled there as the days of her youth and as the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt

And it was in that day, says Jehovah, thou shalt call me, My husband; and thou shalt no more call to me, My Lord.

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

And thou wert weak in the day, and the prophet also was weak with thee by night, and I destroyed thy mother.

And it was as the people so the priest: and I reviewed upon them their way; and their doings I will turn back to them.

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.

For as a stubborn heifer Israel was stubborn: now will Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a wide place.

I knew Ephraim and Israel were not hid from me: for now thou didst commit fornication, O Ephraim; Israel was deified.

And the pride of Israel was humbled in his face, and Israel and Ephraim shall be weak in their iniquity; Judah also being weak with them.

Ephraim was oppressed, he was broken in judgment because he was willing to go after the command.

And we shall know, we shall pursue to know Jehovah: as the morning his going forth was prepared; and he shall come as the rain to us, as the latter rain, the early rain of the earth.

In the house of Israel I saw something horrible: there the fornications to Ephraim, Israel was defiled.

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

Ephraim will mingle himself among my people; Ephraim was a cake not turned.

Strangers consumed his strength, and he knew not: also grayness of hair was sprinkled upon him, and he knew not

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

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

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

Ephraim, as I saw for Tyre, was planted in a habitation: and Ephraim to bring forth his sons to him slaying.

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.

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

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

Shomeron, her king was cut off as chiefs upon the face of the waters.

And an uproar arose among thy people, and all thy fortifications shall be laid waste, as Shaman laid waste the house of the ambush of God in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon the sons.

Thus did the house of God to you from the face of the evil of your evil: in the morning the king of Israel being cut off, was cut off.

When Israel was a child, and I loved him, and I called for my son out of Egypt

And the sword was polished in his cities, and it consumed his branches, and devoured from their counsels.

How shall I give thee up, O Ephraim? Shall I deliver thee over, O Israel? How shall I give thee as the earth? Shall I set thee as roes? My heart was turned upon me; my grievings were kindled together.

Ephraim surrounded me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit: and Judah even ruled with God, and was faithful with the holy ones.

In the belly he circumvented his brother, and by his strength he was a leader with God.

And Ephraim will say, Surely I became rich, I found to me wealth: all my labors shall not be found to me iniquity which was sin.

And by a prophet Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was perserved

According to the word Ephraim being terrified be was lifted up in Israel; and he will transgress in Baal and die.

The iniquity of Ephraim was bound up; his sin was concealed.

Ephraim: What to me yet to images? I humbled, and I will regard him: I as the green cypress From me thy fruit was found.
