Hosea 12:1
| ← Hosea 11:12 | Hosea 12:1 (KJV) | Hosea 12:2 → |
|---|---|---|
Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
|
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
|
The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
