When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel. But he became guilty through Baal, and he died.
And now they go on sinning: they cast images for themselves from their silver, idols of their own devising, all of them the work of craftsmen. "Sacrifice to these," they say. Men kiss calves!
Therefore they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew that vanishes early, like chaff swept from the threshing floor, like smoke from a chimney.
But I am the LORD your God, from the land of Egypt. You know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior.
I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of burning drought.
When I fed them, they were satisfied; they were satisfied, and their hearts grew proud; therefore they forgot me.
So I will be to them like a lion; like a leopard I will lurk beside the road.
I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs and tear open the wall of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness; a wild beast will rip them apart.
You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? Where are your rulers, of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?
I gave you a king in my anger, and in my wrath I took him away.
The guilt of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored away.
The pangs of a woman in labor come upon him, but he is a son without wisdom: when the time comes, he will not present himself at the opening of the womb.
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Death, I will be your plagues! Grave, I will be your destruction! Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
Though he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the LORD rising from the wilderness. His spring will fail, his fountain will run dry; it will plunder the treasury of every precious thing.
