* The Lord sent a word into Jacob Ya #aqob #, and it hath lighted upon Israel Yisra #el #. * And all the people shall know , even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria , that say in the pride and stoutness of heart , * The bricks are fallen down , but we will build with hewn stones : the sycomores are cut down , but we will change them into cedars . * Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him , and join # his enemies together ; * The Syrians before , and the Philistines behind ; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth . For all this his anger is not turned away , but his hand is stretched out still . * For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them , neither do they seek the LORD of hosts . * Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail , branch and rush , in one day . * The ancient and honourable paniym #, he is the head ro #sh #; and the prophet that teacheth lies , he is the tail . * For the leaders of this people cause them to err ; and they that are led of them are destroyed . * Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men , neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows : for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer , and every mouth speaketh folly . For all this his anger is not turned away , but his hand is stretched out still . * For wickedness burneth as the fire : it shall devour the briers and thorns , and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest ya #ar #, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke . * Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened , and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire : no man shall spare his brother . * And he shall snatch on the right hand , and be hungry ra #eb #; and he shall eat on the left hand s @mo #wl #, and they shall not be satisfied : they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm : * Manasseh , Ephraim ; and Ephraim , Manasseh : and they together shall be against Judah . For all this his anger is not turned away , but his hand is stretched out still .
