1 Ephraim herds the|strong="H5437" wind and|strong="H3063" hunts the|strong="H5437" sirocco.
2 The|strong="H3605" Lord has|strong="H3117" a|strong="H3068" charge to|strong="H3117" bring|strong="H2986" against|strong="H5973" Israel,
3 In|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" womb he|strong="H3068" supplanted his|strong="H3068" brother,
4 He wrestled|strong="H8280" with|strong="H8280" the angel and prevailed,
5 And|strong="H8033" the|strong="H1696" Lord is|strong="H8033" the|strong="H1696" God|strong="H1008" of|strong="H4397" hosts,
6 So now, by|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" help of|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", return.
7 A|strong="H3068" merchant uses false scales:
8 Ephraim says, ‘Yes, I|strong="H3027" have|strong="H3027" become|strong="H3027" rich,
9 I|strong="H3808" am the|strong="H3605" Lord your|strong="H3605" God|strong="H3808",
10 I|strong="H3117" spoke continually|strong="H3117" by|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3068" prophets.
11 In|strong="H5921" Gilead is|strong="H3027" iniquity,
12 And|strong="H4196" Jacob fled to|strong="H1961" the|strong="H5921" territory|strong="H7704" of|strong="H7704" Aram,
13 The|strong="H5647" Lord brought|strong="H3478" Israel|strong="H3478" up from|strong="H3478" Egypt by|strong="H3478" a|strong="H3068" prophet,
14 Ephraim has|strong="H3068" given bitter provocation.
