13When Ephraim spoke 1, men trembled; he was exalted 2 in Israel. But he became guilty of Baal worship and died.
2Now they sin more and more; they make idols 4 for themselves from their silver, cleverly fashioned images, all of them the work of craftsmen 5. It is said of these people, "They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calf-idols."
3Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears, like chaff 6 swirling 7 from a threshing floor, like smoke escaping through a window.
4"But I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no God but me, no Savior except me.
5I cared for you in the desert, in the land of burning heat.
6When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me.
7So I will come upon them like a lion, like a leopard 8 I will lurk 9 by the path.
8Like a bear robbed of her cubs 10, I will attack them and rip them open. Like a lion I will devour 11 them; a wild animal will tear them apart.
9"You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
10Where is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your towns, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes'?
11So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath 12 I took him away.
12The guilt 3 of Ephraim is stored up, his sins are kept on record.
13Pains as of a woman in childbirth come to him, but he is a child without wisdom; when the time arrives, he does not come to the opening of the womb.
14"I will ransom 13 them from the power of the grave ; I will redeem 14 them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction? "I will have no compassion 15,
15even though he thrives among his brothers. An east wind from the Lord will come, blowing in from the desert; his spring will fail and his well dry up. His storehouse will be plundered 16 of all its treasures.
16The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."
