No saviour besides me
When Ephraim spoke, men trembled. He was exalted in Israel. But he became guilty through Baal, and he died. And now they sin more and more. They make cast images for themselves out of their silver, idols of their own devising, all of it the work of craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves. So they will be like a morning cloud, like the early dew that goes away, like chaff blown from a threshing floor, like smoke out of a chimney. Yet I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt. You will know no god but me, and there is no saviour besides me. I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of terrible drought. When they had their pasture, they were filled. They were filled, and their hearts grew proud, and so they forgot me. So I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lie in wait beside the road. I will meet them like a bear robbed of her cubs, and I will tear open their chest. There I will devour them like a lion, and the wild animal will rip them apart. You have destroyed yourself, Israel. Your help is in me. I will be your king. Where is any other who may save you in all your cities? And where are your judges, of whom you said, Give me a king and princes? I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my fury. The guilt of Ephraim is bound up. His sin is stored away. The sorrows of a woman in labour will come upon him. He is an unwise son, because he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. I will ransom them from the power of the grave. I will redeem them from death. O death, I will be your plagues. O grave, I will be your destruction. Repentance will be hidden from my eyes. Though he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come, a wind of the Lord rising from the wilderness. His spring will dry up and his well will fail. It will plunder the store of every precious thing. Samaria will become desolate, because she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their women with child will be ripped up.
When Ephraim spoke, there was shaking. He was lifted up in Israel. But when he did wrong through Baal, he died. And now they sin more and more, and they've made themselves cast images out of their silver, idols by their own understanding, all of it the work of craftsmen. They say about them: Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves. So they'll be like a morning cloud and like the early dew that goes, like chaff blown out of the threshing floor by a whirlwind, and like smoke out of the chimney. But I'm the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you won't know any God but me. Because there's no saviour besides me. I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. When they had their pasture, they were full. They were filled, and their heart was lifted up. That's why they forgot me. So I'll be like a lion to them. Like a leopard I'll watch by the road. I'll meet them like a bear robbed of her cubs, and I'll tear open the covering of their heart. And I'll eat them there like a lion. The wild animal will tear them. You've wrecked yourself, Israel. But your help is in me. Where's your king now, to save you in all your towns? And your judges, that you said, Give me a king and officials? I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my fury. The wrongdoing of Ephraim is bound up. His sin is stored away. The pains of a woman in labour will come on him. He's an unwise son, because he shouldn't stay long where the children come out. I'll buy them back from the power of the grave. I'll rescue them from death. Death, where are your plagues? Grave, where's your wrecking? Pity will be hidden from my eyes. Though he does well among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the wilderness. And his spring will dry up and his fountain will be dried out. He'll loot the store of every good thing. Samaria will be found guilty, because she's rebelled against her God. They'll fall by the sword. Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.
When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
