IsraelH3478 is an emptyH1238 vineH1612, he bringeth forthH7737 fruitH6529 unto himself: according to the multitudeH7230 of his fruitH6529 he hath increasedH7235 the altarsH4196; according to the goodnessH2896 of his landH776 they have made goodlyH2895 imagesH4676.2Their heartH3820 is dividedH2505; now shall they be found faultyH816: he shall break downH6202 their altarsH4196, he shall spoilH7703 their imagesH4676.3For now they shall sayH559, We have no kingH4428, because we fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068; what then should a kingH4428 doH6213 to us?4They have spokenH1696 wordsH1697, swearingH422 falselyH7723 in makingH3772 a covenantH1285: thus judgmentH4941 springeth upH6524 as hemlockH7219 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7704.5The inhabitantsH7934 of SamariaH8111 shall fearH1481 because of the calvesH5697 of BethavenH1007: for the peopleH5971 thereof shall mournH56 over it, and the priestsH3649 thereof that rejoicedH1523 on it, for the gloryH3519 thereof, because it is departedH1540 from it.6It shall be also carriedH2986 unto AssyriaH804 for a presentH4503 to kingH4428 JarebH3377: EphraimH669 shall receiveH3947 shameH1317, and IsraelH3478 shall be ashamedH954 of his own counselH6098.7As for SamariaH8111, her kingH4428 is cut offH1820 as the foamH7110 uponH6440 the waterH4325.8The high placesH1116 also of AvenH206, the sinH2403 of IsraelH3478, shall be destroyedH8045: the thornH6975 and the thistleH1863 shall come upH5927 on their altarsH4196; and they shall sayH559 to the mountainsH2022, CoverH3680 us; and to the hillsH1389, FallH5307 on us.9O IsraelH3478, thou hast sinnedH2398 from the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: there they stoodH5975: the battleH4421 in GibeahH1390 against the childrenH1121 of iniquityH5932 did not overtakeH5381 them.10It is in my desireH185 that I should chastiseH3256 them; and the peopleH5971 shall be gatheredH622 against them, when they shall bindH631 themselves in their twoH8147 furrowsH5869.11And EphraimH669 is as an heiferH5697 that is taughtH3925, and lovethH157 to tread outH1758 the corn; but I passed overH5674 upon her fairH2898 neckH6677: I will make EphraimH669 to rideH7392; JudahH3063 shall plowH2790, and JacobH3290 shall break his clodsH7702.

12SowH2232 to yourselves in righteousnessH6666, reapH7114 inH6310 mercyH2617; break upH5214 your fallow groundH5215: for it is timeH6256 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, till he comeH935 and rainH3384 righteousnessH6664 upon you.13Ye have plowedH2790 wickednessH7562, ye have reapedH7114 iniquityH5766; ye have eatenH398 the fruitH6529 of liesH3585: because thou didst trustH982 in thy wayH1870, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mighty menH1368.14Therefore shall a tumultH7588 ariseH6965 among thy peopleH5971, and all thy fortressesH4013 shall be spoiledH7703, as ShalmanH8020 spoiledH7701 BetharbelH1009 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421: the motherH517 was dashed in piecesH7376 upon her childrenH1121.15SoH3602 shall BethelH1008 doH6213 unto you becauseH6440 of your greatH7451 wickednessH7451: in a morningH7837 shall the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 utterlyH1820 be cut offH1820.
