Lexicon :: Strong's H669 - 'ep̄rayim

“Gilead ^H1568 is Mine, and Manasseh ^H4519 is Mine;

Ephraim ^H669 also is the [fn]helmet ^H4581 of My head ^H7218;

Judah ^H3063 is My [fn]scepter ^H2710.

The sons ^H1121 of Ephraim ^H669 [fn]were archers ^H7411 equipped ^H5401 with bows ^H7198,

Yet they turned ^H2015 back ^H2015 in the day ^H3117 of battle ^H7128.

He also rejected ^H3988 the tent ^H168 of Joseph ^H3130,

And did not choose ^H977 the tribe ^H7626 of Ephraim ^H669,

Before ^H6440 Ephraim ^H669 and Benjamin ^H1144 and Manasseh ^H4519, stir ^H5782 up ^H5782 Your might ^H1369

And come ^H1980 to save ^H3444 us!

“Gilead ^H1568 is Mine, Manasseh ^H4519 is Mine;

Ephraim ^H669 also is the [fn]helmet ^H4581 of My head ^H7218;

Judah ^H3063 is My [fn]scepter ^H2710.

And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 know ^H3045 it,

That is, Ephraim ^H669 and the inhabitants ^H3427 of Samaria ^H8111,

Saying ^H559 in lofty ^H1346 pride ^H1346 and in arrogance ^H1433 of heart ^H3824:

Manasseh ^H4519 devours Ephraim ^H669, and Ephraim ^H669 Manasseh ^H4519,

And together ^H3162 they are against ^H5921 Judah ^H3063.

In spite of all ^H3605 this ^H2088, His anger ^H639 does not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725,

And His hand ^H3027 is still ^H5750 stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186.

Then the jealousy ^H7068 of Ephraim ^H669 will depart ^H5493,

And those who assail ^H6887 Judah ^H3063 will be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772;

Ephraim ^H669 will not be ^H7065 jealous ^H7065 of Judah ^H3063,

And Judah ^H3063 will not assail ^H6887 Ephraim ^H669.

“And the [fn]fortified ^H4013 city ^H4013 will cease ^H7673 from Ephraim ^H669,

And [fn]sovereignty ^H4467 from Damascus ^H1834

And the remnant ^H7605 of Aram ^H758;

They will be like the glory ^H3519 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478,”

Declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

Woe ^H1945 to the proud ^H1348 crown ^H5850 of the drunkards ^H7910 of Ephraim ^H669,

And to the fading ^H5034 flower ^H6731 of its glorious ^H6643 beauty ^H6643,

Which ^H834 is at the head ^H7218 of the [fn]fertile ^H8081 valley ^H1516

Of those who are [fn]overcome ^H1986 with wine ^H3196!

The proud ^H1348 crown ^H5850 of the drunkards ^H7910 of Ephraim ^H669 is trodden ^H7429 under foot ^H7272.

For a voice ^H6963 declares ^H5046 from Dan ^H1835,

And makes ^H8085 wickedness ^H205 heard ^H8085 from Mount ^H2022 Ephraim ^H669.

“For there ^H3426 will be ^H3426 a day ^H3117 when watchmen ^H5341

On the hills ^H2022 of Ephraim ^H669 call ^H7121 out ^H7121,

‘Arise ^H6965, and let us go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Zion ^H6726,

To Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430.’”

“With weeping ^H1065 they will come ^H935,

And by supplication ^H8469 I will lead ^H2986 them;

I will make them walk ^H1980 by streams ^H5158 of waters ^H4325,

On a straight ^H3477 path ^H1870 in which they will not stumble ^H3782;

For I am ^H1961 a father ^H1 to Israel ^H3478,

And Ephraim ^H669 is My firstborn ^H1060.”

“I have surely ^H8085 heard ^H8085 Ephraim ^H669 grieving ^H5110,

‘You have chastised ^H3256 me, and I was chastised ^H3256,

Like an untrained ^H3808 H3925 calf ^H5695;

Cause ^H7725 me to return ^H7725 that I may return ^H7725,

For You are Yahweh ^H3068 my God ^H430.

“Is Ephraim ^H669 My dear ^H3357 son ^H1121?

Is he a delightful ^H8191 child ^H3206?

Indeed ^H3588, as often ^H1767 as I have spoken ^H1696 against him,

I certainly ^H2142 still remember ^H2142 him;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 My [fn]inmost ^H4578 being ^H4578 yearns ^H1993 for him;

I will surely ^H7355 have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 him,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

Ephraim ^H669 is joined ^H2266 to idols ^H6091;

Let ^H5117 him alone ^H5117.

I know ^H3045 Ephraim ^H669, and Israel ^H3478 is not hidden ^H3582 from Me;

For now ^H6258, O Ephraim ^H669, you have played ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181;

Israel ^H3478 has defiled ^H2930 itself.

Moreover, the pride ^H1347 of Israel ^H3478 answers ^H6030 against ^H6440 him,

And Israel ^H3478 and Ephraim ^H669 stumble ^H3782 in their iniquity ^H5771;

Judah ^H3063 also ^H1571 has stumbled ^H3782 with them.

Ephraim ^H669 will become ^H1961 a desolation ^H8047 in the day ^H3117 of reproof ^H8433;

Among the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 I will make ^H3045 known ^H3045 what is true ^H539.

Ephraim ^H669 is oppressed ^H6231, crushed ^H7533 in judgment ^H4941,

Because ^H3588 he was ^H2974 determined ^H2974 to [fn]walk ^H1980 after ^H310 man’s command ^H6673.

What ^H4100 shall I do ^H6213 with you, O Ephraim ^H669?

What ^H4100 shall I do ^H6213 with you, O Judah ^H3063?

For your lovingkindness ^H2617 is like a morning ^H1242 cloud ^H6051

And like the dew ^H2919 which goes ^H1980 away early ^H7925.

In the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 I have seen ^H7200 an appalling ^H8186 thing ^H8186;

Ephraim’s ^H669 harlotry ^H2184 is there ^H8033; Israel ^H3478 has defiled ^H2930 itself.

When I would heal ^H7495 Israel ^H3478,

Then the iniquity ^H5771 of Ephraim ^H669 is uncovered ^H1540,

And the evil ^H7451 deeds ^H7451 of Samaria ^H8111,

For they work ^H6466 falsehood ^H8267;

The thief ^H1590 enters ^H935 in ^H935;

Raiders ^H1416 [fn]ransack ^H6584 outside ^H2351,

Ephraim ^H669 mixes ^H1101 himself ^H1931 with the peoples ^H5971;

Ephraim ^H669 has become ^H1961 a cake ^H5692 not turned ^H2015.

So Ephraim ^H669 has become ^H1961 like a silly ^H6601 dove ^H3123, without ^H369 a heart ^H3820 of wisdom;

They call ^H7121 to Egypt ^H4714; they go ^H1980 to Assyria ^H804.

For they have gone ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Assyria ^H804

Like a wild ^H6501 donkey ^H6501 all alone ^H909;

Ephraim ^H669 has hired ^H8566 [fn]lovers ^H158.

Since ^H3588 Ephraim ^H669 has multiplied ^H7235 altars ^H4196 for sin ^H2398,

They have become ^H1961 altars ^H4196 of sinning ^H2398 for him.

They will not remain ^H3427 in the land ^H776 of Yahweh ^H3068,

But Ephraim ^H669 will return ^H7725 to Egypt ^H4714,

And in Assyria ^H804 they will eat ^H398 unclean ^H2931 food.

Ephraim ^H669 was a watchman ^H6822 with my God ^H430, a prophet ^H5030;

Yet the snare ^H6341 of a bird ^H3352 catcher ^H3352 is in all ^H3605 his ways ^H1870,

And there is only hostility ^H4895 in the house ^H1004 of his God ^H430.

As for Ephraim ^H669, their glory ^H3519 will fly ^H5774 away ^H5774 like a bird ^H5775—

No ^H4480 birth ^H3205, no ^H4480 pregnancy ^H990, and no ^H4480 conception ^H2032!

Ephraim ^H669, as I have seen ^H7200,

Is planted ^H8362 in a pasture ^H5116 like Tyre ^H6865;

But Ephraim ^H669 will bring ^H3318 out ^H3318 his children ^H1121 for killing ^H2026.

Ephraim ^H669 is stricken ^H5221; their root ^H8328 is dried ^H3001 up ^H3001;

They will bear ^H6213 no ^H1097 fruit ^H6529.

Even ^H1571 though ^H3588 they bear ^H3205 children,

I will put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191 the desirable ^H4261 ones ^H4261 of their womb ^H990.

The thing itself ^H1571 will be carried ^H2986 to Assyria ^H804

As tribute ^H4503 to [fn]King ^H4428 Jareb ^H3377;

Ephraim ^H669 will receive ^H3947 shame ^H1317,

And Israel ^H3478 will be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 of its own counsel ^H6098.

And Ephraim ^H669 is a trained ^H3925 heifer ^H5697 that loves ^H157 to thresh ^H1758,

But I will come ^H5674 over ^H5921 her fair ^H2898 neck ^H6677 with a yoke;

I will harness ^H7392 Ephraim ^H669;

Judah ^H3063 will plow ^H2790; Jacob ^H3290 will harrow ^H7702 for himself.
