Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 Ephraim's glory, by reason of idolatry, vanished. 5 God's anger for their unkindness. 9 A promise of God's mercy. 15 A judgment for rebellion.

13:1 ¶ When Ephraim 669 spake 1696 z8763 trembling, 7578 he x1931 exalted 5375 z8804 himself in Israel; 3478 but when he offended 816 z8799 in Baal, 1168 he died. 4191 z8799

13:2 And now x6258 they sin 2398 z8800 more and more, 3254 z8686 and have made 6213 z8799 them molten images 4541 of their silver, 3701 x4480 [and] idols 6091 according to their own understanding, 8394 all x3605 of it the work 4639 of the craftsmen: 2796 they x1992 say 559 z8802 of them, Let the men 120 that sacrifice 2076 z8802 kiss 5401 z8799 the calves. 5695

13:3 Therefore x3651 they shall be x1961 as the morning 1242 cloud, 6051 and as the early 7925 z8688 dew 2919 that passeth away, 1980 z8802 as the chaff 4671 [that] is driven with the whirlwind 5590 z8792 out of the floor, 1637 x4480 and as the smoke 6227 out of the chimney. 699 x4480

13:4 Yet I x595 [am] the LORD 3068 thy God 430 from the land 776 x4480 of Egypt, 4714 and thou shalt know 3045 z8799 no x3808 god 430 but x2108 me: y2108 for [there is] no x369 saviour 3467 z8688 beside x1115 me. y1115

13:5 ¶ I x589 did know 3045 z8804 thee in the wilderness, 4057 in the land 776 of great drought. 8514

13:6 According to their pasture, 4830 so were they filled; 7646 z8799 they were filled, 7646 z8804 and their heart 3820 was exalted; 7311 z8799 therefore x5921 x3651 have they forgotten 7911 z8804 me.

13:7 Therefore I will be x1961 unto them as x3644 a lion: 7826 as a leopard 5246 by x5921 the way 1870 will I observe 7789 z8799 [them]:

13:8 I will meet 6298 z8799 them as a bear 1677 [that is] bereaved 7909 [of her whelps], and will rend 7167 z8799 the caul 5458 of their heart, 3820 and there x8033 will I devour 398 z8799 them like a lion: 3833 the wild 7704 beast 2416 shall tear 1234 z8762 them.

13:9 ¶ O Israel, 3478 thou hast destroyed 7843 z8765 thyself; but x3588 in me [is] thine help. 5828

13:10 I will y165 be x165 thy king: 4428 where 645 [is any other] that may save 3467 z8686 thee in all x3605 thy cities? 5892 and thy judges 8199 z8802 of whom x834 thou saidst, 559 z8804 Give 5414 z8798 me a king 4428 and princes? 8269

13:11 I gave 5414 z8799 thee a king 4428 in mine anger, 639 and took y3947 z8799 [him] away x3947 in my wrath. 5678

13:12 The iniquity 5771 of Ephraim 669 [is] bound up; 6887 z8803 his sin 2403 [is] hid. 6845 z8803

13:13 The sorrows 2256 of a travailing woman 3205 z8802 shall come 935 z8799 upon him: he x1931 [is] an unwise 2450 x3808 son; 1121 for x3588 he should not x3808 stay 5975 z8799 long 6256 in [the place of] the breaking forth 4866 of children. 1121

13:14 I will ransom 6299 z8799 them from the power 3027 x4480 of the grave; 7585 I will redeem 1350 z8799 them from death: 4194 x4480 O death, 4194 I will y165 be x165 thy plagues; 1698 O grave, 7585 I will y165 be x165 thy destruction: 6987 repentance 5164 shall be hid 5641 z8735 from mine eyes. 5869 x4480

13:15 ¶ Though x3588 he x1931 be fruitful 6500 z8686 among x996 [his] brethren, 251 an east wind 6921 shall come, 935 z8799 the wind 7307 of the LORD 3068 shall come up 5927 z8802 from the wilderness, 4057 x4480 and his spring 4726 shall become dry, 954 z8799 and his fountain 4599 shall be dried up: 2717 z8799 he x1931 shall spoil 8154 z8799 the treasure 214 of all x3605 pleasant 2532 vessels. 3627

13:16 Samaria 8111 shall become desolate; 816 z8799 for x3588 she hath rebelled 4784 z8804 against her God: 430 they shall fall 5307 z8799 by the sword: 2719 their infants 5768 shall be dashed in pieces, 7376 z8792 and their women with child 2030 shall be ripped up. 1234 z8792
