And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judah his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to King Jareb: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall by no means cease from you.

And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.

For they have gone up to the Assyrians; Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.

But Ephraim is an evil spirit, he has chased the east wind all the day. He has multiplied empty and vain things, and made a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil has gone in the way of traffic into Egypt.

And at that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have trusted on the king of Syria, and did not trust on the Lord your God, therefore the army of Syria has escaped out of your hand.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], You have chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn me, and I shall turn; for You [are] the Lord my God.

Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to Me: for because My words are in him, I will surely remember him. Therefore I made haste [to help] him. I will surely have mercy upon him, says the Lord.

How long, O disgraced daughter, will you turn away? For the Lord has created safety for a new plantation. Men shall go about in safety.

For he shall not multiply to himself horses, and he shall by no means turn the people back to Egypt, lest he should multiply to himself horses; for the Lord said, You shall not return that way again.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

They are overthrown and fallen; but we are risen, and have been set upright.

A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.

[even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, for they have not inquired of Me, that they might be helped by Pharaoh, and protected by the Egyptians.

but you said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee; and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

[even] an Egyptian, a man, and not God; the flesh of horses, and there is no help [in them]; but the Lord shall bring His hand upon them, and the helpers shall fail, and all shall perish together.

yet now make an agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you shall be able to set riders upon them.

What [has] he to do anymore with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him. I am as a leafy juniper tree. From Me is your fruit found.

And I will take away the names of Baalam out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.

For they shall be ashamed of their idols, which they delighted in, and they have been made ashamed of the gardens which they coveted.

For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made, [in order] to worship vanities and bats;

Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I have taken away his sin; when they have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.

and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.

that they may no more defile themselves with their idols; and I will deliver them from all their transgressions whereby they have sinned, and I will cleanse them; and they shall be to Me a people, and I the Lord will be to them a God.

and he said to me, Son of man, you have seen the place of My throne, and the place of the soles of My feet, in which My name shall dwell in the midst of the house of Israel forever; and the house of Israel shall no more profane My holy name, they and their princes, by their fornication, or by the murders of [their] princes in the midst of them;

And now let them put away from Me their fornication, and the murders of their princes, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, that I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;

and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.

And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer any remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

You shall hurt no widow or orphan.

And I will be very angry, and will slay you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.

You see [it]; for You observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into Your hands; the poor has been left to You; You are a helper to the orphan.

[who is] the Father of the orphans, and Judge of the widows; [such is] God in His holy place.

He will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

Remove not the ancient landmarks, and enter not upon the possession of the fatherless;

for the Lord is their redeemer; He is mighty, and will plead their cause with you.

I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.
