Hosea Chapter 12 / YLT

Young's Literal Translation
Hosea, Chapter 12

   1: Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
   2: And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
   3: In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
   4: Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
   5: Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
   6: And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
   7: Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
   8: And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours -- they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.'
   9: And I -- Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
   10: And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
   11: Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
   12: And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
   13: And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
   14: Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
