Hosea 12 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

And Yahweh ^H3068 has a contention ^H7379 with Judah ^H3063

And will punish ^H6485 Jacob ^H3290 according to his ways ^H1870;

He will cause ^H7725 everything to return ^H7725 to him according to his deeds ^H4611.

In the womb ^H990 he took ^H6117 his brother ^H251 by ^H6117 the ^H6117 heel ^H6117,

And in his maturity ^H202 he [fn]wrestled ^H8280 with God ^H430.

Indeed, he [fn]wrestled ^H8280 with the angel ^H4397 and prevailed ^H3201;

He wept ^H1058 and sought ^H2603 His favor ^H2603.

He found ^H4672 Him at Bethel ^H1008,

And there ^H8033 He spoke ^H1696 with us,

Even Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of hosts ^H6635,

Yahweh ^H3068 is His [fn]name of remembrance ^H2143.

Therefore, return ^H7725 to your God ^H430,

Keep ^H8104 lovingkindness ^H2617 and justice ^H4941,

And hope ^H6960 in your God ^H430 continually ^H8548.

A [fn]merchant ^H3669, in whose hands ^H3027 are deceptive ^H4820 balances ^H3976,

He loves ^H157 to oppress ^H6231.

And Ephraim ^H669 said ^H559, “Surely ^H389 I have become ^H6238 rich ^H6238;

I have found ^H4672 wealth ^H202 for myself;

In all ^H3605 my labors ^H3018 they will find ^H4672 in me

No ^H3808 iniquity ^H5771, which ^H834 would be sin ^H2399.”

But I have been Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 since ^H4480 the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714;

I will make you settle ^H3427 in tents ^H168 again ^H5750,

As in the days ^H3117 of the appointed ^H4150 festival ^H4150.

And I have spoken ^H1696 to the prophets ^H5030,

And I [fn]made visions ^H2377 abound ^H7235,

And by the hand ^H3027 of the prophets ^H5030 I gave ^H1819 parables ^H1819.

Is there wickedness ^H205 in Gilead ^H1568?

Surely ^H389 they are worthless ^H7723.

In Gilgal ^H1537 they sacrifice ^H2076 bulls ^H7794;

Yes ^H1571, their altars ^H4196 are like the stone ^H1530 heaps ^H1530

Beside ^H5921 the furrows ^H8525 of the field ^H7704.

Now Jacob ^H3290 fled ^H1272 to the field ^H7704 of Aram ^H758,

And Israel ^H3478 worked ^H5647 for a wife ^H802,

And for a wife ^H802 he kept ^H8104 sheep.

But by a prophet ^H5030 Yahweh ^H3068 brought ^H5927 Israel ^H3478 up ^H5927 from Egypt ^H4714,

And by a prophet ^H5030 he was kept ^H8104.

Ephraim ^H669 has provoked ^H3707 to ^H3707 bitter ^H8563 anger ^H3707;

So his Lord ^H136 will leave ^H5203 his bloodguilt ^H1818 on him

And cause ^H7725 his reproach ^H2781 to return ^H7725 to him.
