1 Israel 3478 is an empty 1238 vine 1612, he bringeth forth 7737 fruit 6529 unto himself: according to the multitude 7230 of his fruit 6529 he hath increased 7235 the altars 4196; according to the goodness 2896 of his land 776 they have made goodly 2895 images 4676.
2 Their heart 3820 is divided 2505; now shall they be found faulty 816: he shall break down 6202 their altars 4196, he shall spoil 7703 their images 4676.
3 For now they shall say 559, We have no king 4428, because we feared 3372 not the LORD 3068; what then should a king 4428 do 6213 to us?
4 They have spoken 1696 words 1697, swearing 422 falsely 7723 in making 3772 a covenant 1285: thus judgment 4941 springeth up 6524 as hemlock 7219 in the furrows 8525 of the field 7704.
5 The inhabitants 7934 of Samaria 8111 shall fear 1481 because of the calves 5697 of Bethaven 1007: for the people 5971 thereof shall mourn 56 over it, and the priests 3649 thereof that rejoiced 1523 on it, for the glory 3519 thereof, because it is departed 1540 from it.
6 It shall be also carried 2986 unto Assyria 804 for a present 4503 to king 4428 Jareb 3377: Ephraim 669 shall receive 3947 shame 1317, and Israel 3478 shall be ashamed 954 of his own counsel 6098.
7 As for Samaria 8111, her king 4428 is cut off 1820 as the foam 7110 upon 6440 the water 4325.
8 The high places 1116 also of Aven 206, the sin 2403 of Israel 3478, shall be destroyed 8045: the thorn 6975 and the thistle 1863 shall come up 5927 on their altars 4196; and they shall say 559 to the mountains 2022, Cover 3680 us; and to the hills 1389, Fall 5307 on us.
9 O Israel 3478, thou hast sinned 2398 from the days 3117 of Gibeah 1390: there they stood 5975: the battle 4421 in Gibeah 1390 against the children 1121 of iniquity 5932 did not overtake 5381 them.
10 It is in my desire 185 that I should chastise 3256 them; and the people 5971 shall be gathered 622 against them, when they shall bind 631 themselves in their two 8147 furrows 5869.
11 And Ephraim 669 is as an heifer 5697 that is taught 3925, and loveth 157 to tread out 1758 the corn; but I passed over 5674 upon her fair 2898 neck 6677: I will make Ephraim 669 to ride 7392; Judah 3063 shall plow 2790, and Jacob 3290 shall break his clods 7702.
12 Sow 2232 to yourselves in righteousness 6666, reap 7114 in 6310 mercy 2617; break up 5214 your fallow ground 5215: for it is time 6256 to seek 1875 the LORD 3068, till he come 935 and rain 3384 righteousness 6664 upon you.
13 Ye have plowed 2790 wickedness 7562, ye have reaped 7114 iniquity 5766; ye have eaten 398 the fruit 6529 of lies 3585: because thou didst trust 982 in thy way 1870, in the multitude 7230 of thy mighty men 1368.
14 Therefore shall a tumult 7588 arise 6965 among thy people 5971, and all thy fortresses 4013 shall be spoiled 7703, as Shalman 8020 spoiled 7701 Betharbel 1009 in the day 3117 of battle 4421: the mother 517 was dashed in pieces 7376 upon her children 1121.
15 So 3602 shall Bethel 1008 do 6213 unto you because 6440 of your great 7451 wickedness 7451: in a morning 7837 shall the king 4428 of Israel 3478 utterly 1820 be cut off 1820.
