12:1 Ephraim
feedeth
on
winde,
and
followeth
after
the
East
winde:
hee
daily
increaseth
lies
and
desolation,
and
they
doe
make
a
couenant
with
the
Assyrians,
and
oyle
is
caried
into
Egypt.
12:2 The
Lord
hath
also
a
controuersie
with
Iudah,
and
will
punish
Iacob
according
to
his
wayes,
according
to
his
doings
will
he
recompense
him.
12:3 Hee
tooke
his
brother
by
the
heele
in
the
wombe,
and
by
his
strength
he
had
power
with
God.
12:4 Yea,
he
had
power
ouer
the
Angel
and
preuailed:
hee
wept
and
made
supplication
vnto
him:
he
found
him
in
Bethel,
and
there
he
spake
with
vs.
12:5 Euen
the
Lord
God
of
hosts,
the
Lord
is
his
memoriall.
12:6 Therefore
turne
thou
to
thy
God:
keepe
mercie
and
iudgement,
and
wait
on
thy
God
continually.
12:7 He
is
a
merchant,
the
balances
of
deceit
are
in
his
hand:
hee
loueth
to
oppresse.
12:8 And
Ephraim
said,
Yet
I
am
become
rich,
I
haue
found
mee
out
substance:
in
all
my
labours
they
shall
finde
none
iniquitie
in
mee,
that
were
sinne.
12:9 And
I
that
am
the
Lord
thy
God
from
the
lande
of
Egypt,
will
yet
make
thee
to
dwell
in
tabernacles,
as
in
the
dayes
of
the
solemne
feast.
12:10 I
haue
also
spoken
by
the
prophets,
and
I
haue
multiplied
visions,
and
vsed
similitudes,
by
the
ministerie
of
the
prophets.
12:11 Is
there
iniquitie
in
Gilead
surely
they
are
vanitie,
they
sacrifice
bullocks
in
Gilgal,
yea
their
altars
are
as
heapes
in
the
furrowes
of
the
fields.
12:12 And
Iacob
fled
into
the
countrey
of
Syria,
and
Israel
serued
for
a
wife,
and
for
a
wife
he
kept
sheepe.
12:13 And
by
a
Prophet
the
Lord
brought
Israel
out
of
Egypt,
and
by
a
Prophet
was
he
preserued.
12:14 Ephraim
prouoked
him
to
anger,
most
bitterly:
therefore
shall
he
leaue
his
blood
vpon
him,
and
his
reproch
shall
his
Lord
returne
vnto
him.
