YLT
Young's Literal Translation
When Ephraim spoke
, there
was
trembling;
he was
exalted
in Israel .
But
he incurred
guilt
through
Baal ,
and
he died
.
When Ephraim speaketh
tremblingly
, He hath
been
lifted
up
in Israel ,
When
he becometh
guilty
in
Baal he dieth
.
Now they sin more
and
more
and make for
themselves
cast
images,
idols
skillfully
made
from
their silver, all
of
them
the
work of craftsmen.
People
say
of them
, “
They offer
human
sacrifice
and
kiss
the calves !”
And
now do
they add
to
sin ,
And make to
them
a
molten
image
of
their silver, By
their
own
understanding
--
idols,
A
work of artizans
--
all
of it
, Of
them
they say,
who
`are'
sacrificers
among
men,
`
The calves let
them
kiss.'
Therefore they will
be
like
the morning mist
, like
the
early
dew that
vanishes
, like
chaff blown
from
a threshing
floor, like
smoke through
an
open
window.
Therefore they are
as
a
cloud
of
the morning, And
as
dew, rising
early,
going
away,
As
chaff tossed
about
out
of
a floor, And
as
smoke out
of
a
window.
Yet
I am the
LORD
your
God ever
since
the land of Egypt ;
you
know
no
God but
Me, for
there is no
Savior
besides
Me.
And
I `
am '
Jehovah
thy
God from
the land of Egypt ,
And
a
God besides
Me thou
dost
not
know
, And
a
Saviour
--
there is none
save
Me.
I knew
you
in the
wilderness, in the
land of drought
.
I --
I
have
known
thee
in a
wilderness, In a
land of droughts
.
When
they had
pasture
, they became
satisfied;
when
they
were
satisfied
, their hearts
became
proud
, and
as
a
result
they forgot
Me .
According
to
their
feedings
they are
satiated
, They have
been
satiated
, And
their heart
is
lifted
up
, Therefore
they have
forgotten
Me ,
So
like
a
lion
I will
pounce
on
them ;
like
a leopard I
will
lurk
by the path
.
And
I am
to
them as
a lion,
As
a
leopard by the way
I
look
out
.
Like
a
bear
robbed
of
her
cubs
I will
attack
them, and I will
tear
open
their chests.
There
I
will
devour
them
like
a
lion,
like
a
wild
beast
would
tear
them
apart
.
I do
meet
them as
a
bereaved
bear
, And I rend
the
enclosure
of
their heart
.
You
are
destroyed,
O
Israel
, because
you
are
against
Me—
against
your
helper
.
And
I
consume
them
there
as
a
lioness
, A
beast
of
the
field
doth
rend
them
.
Where is your
king now to
save you
in all your
cities ,
and the
rulers
to
whom you
said
, “
Give me a king and princes”
?
Thou
hast
destroyed
thyself,
O
Israel,
But
in
Me
`is'
thy
help,
Where `
is '
thy
king now --
And
he
doth
save thee
in all thy
cities ?
And thy
judges
of
whom thou
didst
say
, `
Give to
me a king and heads
? '
So
in
My
anger
I gave
you
a king, and in My wrath I
took
him
away
.
I give
to
thee
a king in
Mine
anger
, And I
take
away
in My wrath.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound
up;
his sin is
stored
up.
Bound
up
`is'
the iniquity of Ephraim ,
Hidden
`
is '
his sin ,
Labor
pains
come upon
him, but
he is an
unwise
son .
When
the
time
arrives
, he fails
to
present
himself
at
the opening
of
the womb
.
Pangs
of
a
travailing
woman
come to
him, He `
is '
a
son not
wise
, For
he remaineth
not
the time
for
the breaking
forth
of
sons
.
I
will
ransom
them
from the power
of Sheol ;
I will
redeem
them from Death .
Where, O Death ,
are
your
plagues
? Where, O Sheol ,
is
your
sting
? Compassion
is hidden
from My
eyes.
From the hand
of Sheol I do
ransom
them ,
From death I
redeem
them,
Where `is'
thy
plague
, O death? Where thy
destruction
, O Sheol? Repentance
is hid
from Mine
eyes.
Although
he flourishes
among his
brothers
, an east wind will
come—
a wind from the
LORD
rising
up from
the
desert.
His fountain will
fail
, and his
spring
will
run
dry .
The
wind
will
plunder
his treasury
of
every precious
article
.
Though
he among brethren
produceth
fruit
, Come
in
doth
an east wind ,
a wind of
Jehovah,
From a
wilderness
it
is
coming
up ,
And
it
drieth
up
his fountain, And become
dry doth
his spring,
It
--
it
spoileth
a
treasure
--
every desirable
vessel
.
Samaria will
bear
her
guilt
because she has
rebelled against her God .
They
will
fall
by the
sword ;
their little
ones
will
be
dashed to
pieces, and their
pregnant women
ripped open.
Become
desolate
doth
Samaria ,
Because she hath
rebelled against her God ,
By sword they
do
fall,
Their sucklings
are
dashed in
pieces, And its
pregnant ones
are
ripped up!
