Hosea 13 (kjv)

13

When EphraimH669 spakeH1696 tremblingH7578, he exaltedH5375 himself in IsraelH3478; but when he offendedH816 in BaalH1168, he diedH4191.2And now they sinH2398 more and moreH3254, and have madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541 of their silverH3701, and idolsH6091 according to their own understandingH8394, all of it the workH4639 of the craftsmenH2796: they sayH559 of them, Let the menH120 that sacrificeH2076 kissH5401 the calvesH5695.3Therefore they shall be as the morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the earlyH7925 dewH2919 that passeth awayH1980, as the chaffH4671 that is driven with the whirlwindH5590 out of the floorH1637, and as the smokeH6227 out of the chimneyH699.

4Yet I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and thou shalt knowH3045 no godH430 but meH2108: for there is no saviourH3467 beside meH1115.5I did knowH3045 thee in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776 of great droughtH8514.6According to their pastureH4830, so were they filledH7646; they were filledH7646, and their heartH3820 was exaltedH7311; therefore have they forgottenH7911 me.7Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:8I will meetH6298 them as a bearH1677 that is bereavedH7909 of her whelps, and will rendH7167 the caulH5458 of their heartH3820, and there will I devourH398 them like a lionH3833: the wildH7704 beastH2416 shall tearH1234 them.

9O IsraelH3478, thou hast destroyedH7843 thyself; but in me is thine helpH5828.10I willH165 be thy kingH4428: whereH645 is any other that may saveH3467 thee in all thy citiesH5892? and thy judgesH8199 of whom thou saidstH559, GiveH5414 me a kingH4428 and princesH8269?11I gaveH5414 thee a kingH4428 in mine angerH639, and tookH3947 him away in my wrathH5678.12The iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 is bound upH6887; his sinH2403 is hidH6845.13The sorrowsH2256 of a travailing womanH3205 shall comeH935 upon him: he is an unwiseH2450 sonH1121; for he should not stayH5975 longH6256 in the place of the breaking forthH4866 of childrenH1121.14I will ransomH6299 them from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585; I will redeemH1350 them from deathH4194: O deathH4194, I willH165 be thy plaguesH1698; O graveH7585, I willH165 be thy destructionH6987: repentanceH5164 shall be hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869.

15Though he be fruitfulH6500 among his brethrenH251, an east windH6921 shall comeH935, the windH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall come upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, and his springH4726 shall become dryH954, and his fountainH4599 shall be dried upH2717: he shall spoilH8154 the treasureH214 of all pleasantH2532 vesselsH3627.16SamariaH8111 shall become desolateH816; for she hath rebelledH4784 against her GodH430: they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: their infantsH5768 shall be dashed in piecesH7376, and their women with childH2030 shall be ripped upH1234.
