CHAP. XIII.

1 Ephraims glory, by reason of idolatry, vanisheth. 5 Gods anger for their vnkindnes. 9 A promise of Gods mercie. 15 A iudgement for rebellion.

¹When Ephraim spake, trembling, he exalted himselfe in Israel, but, when he offended in Baal, he died.

²And now they sinne more and more, and haue made them molten images of their siluer, and idoles according to their owne vnderstanding, all of it the worke of the craftesmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice, kisse the calues.²

³Therefore they shalbe as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it passeth away, as the chaffe that is driuen with a whirlewinde out of the floore, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

⁴Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God, but me: for there is no sauiour beside me.⁴

⁵¶ I did know thee in the wildernesse, in the land of great drought.⁵

⁶According to their pasture, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me.

⁸I will meet them as a beare that is bereaued of her whelpes, and will rent the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a Lion: the wilde beast shall teare them.⁸

⁹¶ O Israel, thou hast destroied thy selfe, but in me is thine helpe.⁹

¹⁰I will be thy King: where is any other that may saue thee in all thy cities? and thy Iudges of whom thou saidst, Giue me a King and Princes?

¹¹I gaue thee a king in mine anger, and tooke him away in my wrath.¹¹
