Hosea 13
1
When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
2
Now they sin more and more,
3
Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
4
“Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt;
5
I knew you in the wilderness,
6
According to their pasture, so were they filled;
7
Therefore I am like a lion to them.
8
I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs,
9
You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me,
10
Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities?
11
I have given you a king in my anger,
12
The guilt of Ephraim is stored up.
13
The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him.
14
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.
15
Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come,
16
Samaria will bear her guilt,
