Hosea 13 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Ephraim's Idolatry

Hos 13:1When E'phraim spoke, men trembled; he was exalted in Israel; but he incurred guilt through Ba'al and died.

Hos 13:2And now they sin more and more, and make for themselves molten images, idols skilfully made of their silver, all of them the work of craftsmen. Sacrifice to these, they say. Men kiss calves!

Hos 13:3

Hos 13:3Therefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away, like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window.

Hos 13:4

Hos 13:4I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior.

Hos 13:5

Hos 13:5It was I who knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought;

Hos 13:6

Hos 13:6but when they had fed to the full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.

Hos 13:7

Hos 13:7So I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.

Hos 13:8

Hos 13:8I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.

Hos 13:9

Hos 13:9I will destroy you, O Israel; who can help you?

Hos 13:10

Hos 13:10Where now is your king, to save you; where are all your princes, to defend you--those of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?

Hos 13:11

Hos 13:11I have given you kings in my anger, and I have taken them away in my wrath.

Hos 13:12

Hos 13:12The iniquity of E'phraim is bound up, his sin is kept in store.

Hos 13:13

Hos 13:13The pangs of childbirth come for him, but he is an unwise son; for now he does not present himself at the mouth of the womb.

Hos 13:14

Hos 13:14Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from Death? O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Compassion is hid from my eyes.

Hos 13:15

Hos 13:15Though he may flourish as the reed plant, the east wind, the wind of the LORD, shall come, rising from the wilderness; and his fountain shall dry up, his spring shall be parched; it shall strip his treasury of every precious thing.

Hos 13:16

Hos 13:16Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
