Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:1 -

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;

he was exalted in Israel.

But he incurred guilt through Baal and died.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:2 -

Now they continue to sin

and make themselves a cast image,

idols skillfully made from their silver,

all of them the work of craftsmen.

People say about them,

“Let the men who sacrifice[fn] kiss the calves.”

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:3 -

Therefore, they will be like the morning mist,

like the early dew that vanishes,

like chaff blown from a threshing floor,

or like smoke from a window.

Death and Resurrection
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:4 -

I have been the LORD your God

ever since[fn] the land of Egypt;

you know no God but me,

and no Savior exists besides me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:5 -

I knew[fn] you in the wilderness,

in the land of drought.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:6 -

When they had pasture,

they became satisfied;

they were satisfied,

and their hearts became proud.

Therefore they forgot me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:7 -

So I will be like a lion to them;

I will lurk like a leopard on the path.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:8 -

I will attack them

like a bear robbed of her cubs

and tear open the rib cage over their hearts.

I will devour them there like a lioness,

like a wild beast that would rip them open.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:9 -

I will destroy you, Israel;

you have no help but me.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:10 -

Where now is your king,[fn]

that he may save you in all your cities,

and the[fn] rulers[fn] you demanded, saying,

“Give me a king and leaders”?

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:11 -

I give you a king in my anger

and take away a king in my wrath.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:12 -

Ephraim’s guilt is preserved;

his sin is stored up.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:13 -

Labor pains come on him.

He is not a wise son;

when the time comes,

he will not be born.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:14 -

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.

I will redeem[fn] them from death.

Death, where are your barbs?

Sheol, where is your sting?

Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

The Coming Judgment
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:15 -

Although he flourishes among his brothers,[fn]

an east wind will come,

a wind from the LORD rising up from the desert.

His water source will fail,

and his spring will run dry.

The wind[fn] will plunder the treasury

of every precious item.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:16 -

Samaria will bear her guilt

because she has rebelled against her God.

They will fall by the sword;

their children will be dashed to pieces,

and their pregnant women ripped open.
