Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Hosea 11
¹² Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Hosea 12
¹ Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
² The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
³ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
⁴ Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
⁵ Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
⁶ Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.
⁷ He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
⁸ And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
⁹ And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
¹⁰ I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
