Hosea 12

1 Ephraim [is] feeding wind and [is] pursuing an east wind all the day falsehood and violence he increases and a covenant with Assyria they are making and oil to Egypt it is carried.

2 And a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with Judah and to visit [judgment] on Jacob according to ways his according to deeds his he will repay to him.

3 In the womb he took by [the] heel brother his and in manly vigor his he struggled with God.

4 And he struggled against an angel and he prevailed he wept and he sought favor to him Beth-el he found him and there he spoke with us.

5 And Yahweh [the] God of hosts Yahweh [is] memorial his.

6 And you in God your you will return loyalty and justice keep and wait to God your continually.

7 Canaan [who are] in hand his scales of deceit to defraud he loves.

8 And he has said Ephraim surely I have become rich I have found wealth for myself all toil my not people will find to me iniquity which [is] sin.

9 And I [have been] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt again I will cause to dwell you in tents like [the] days of an appointed feast.

10 And I spoke to the prophets and I vision[s] I multiplied and by [the] hand of the prophets I gave parables.

11 [is] Gilead Wickedness surely worthlessness they are in Gilgal bulls they have sacrificed also altars their [are] like heaps of stones on [the] furrows of a field.

12 And he fled Jacob [the] region of Aram and he served Israel for a wife and for a wife he kept [flocks].

13 And by a prophet he brought up Yahweh Israel from Egypt and by a prophet he was kept.

14 He has provoked to anger Ephraim bitterness and blood his on him he will leave and reproach his he will repay to him lord his.
