asv Hosea:11:12-12:14
asv@Hosea:11:12 @Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
asv@Hosea:12:1 @Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
asv@Hosea:12:2 @Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
asv@Hosea:12:3 @In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:
asv@Hosea:12:4 @yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us,
asv@Hosea:12:5 @even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial name.
asv@Hosea:12:6 @Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.
asv@Hosea:12:7 @He is a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
asv@Hosea:12:8 @And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.
asv@Hosea:12:9 @But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
asv@Hosea:12:10 @I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.
asv@Hosea:12:11 @Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether false; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
asv@Hosea:12:12 @And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
asv@Hosea:12:13 @And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
asv@Hosea:12:14 @Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
