and He shall come to us as the rain, as the malchut-rain
and the teaching-rain upon the earth. 2913
4 O Efrayim, what shall I do to you? O Yahudah, what
shall I do to you? For your attempts to be tov before Me
is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
5 Therefore have I cut at them by the neviim; I have slain
them by the words of My mouth: and My mishpatim are
as the light that goes forth. 2914
6 For I desired rachamim, and not sacrifice; and the
2915 2916
da’at of Elohim more than burnt offerings.
7 But like Ahdahm they have transgressed the brit: 2917
there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Gilad is a city of theirs that works iniquity, and is
polluted with dahm.
9 And as groups of robbers wait for a man, so the
company of Kohanim murder on the derech to Shechem:
2918 for they commit wickedness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in Beit Yisrael; there are
the whoring of Efrayim, Yisrael is defiled. 2919
11 Also, O Yahudah, He has appointed a harvest for you,
2920 when I return the captivity of My people. 2921 2922
7
When I would have healed Yisrael, then the iniquity of
Efrayim was revealed, and the wickedness of Shomron:
for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the
band of robbers raids outside.
2 And they consider not in their levim that I remember all
their wickedness: now their own doings have surrounded
them; they are before My face.
3 They make the melech have gilah with their wickedness,
and the rulers with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,
who ceases stirring the fire after he has kneaded the
dough, until it be leavened.
5 In the day of our melech the rulers have made him sick
with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand to the
scorners.
6 For they have made ready their lev like an oven, while
they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all night; in the
morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, 2923 and have devoured
their shophtim; all their melechim are fallen: 2924 there is
none among them that calls to Me.
8 Efrayim, has mixed himself among the peoples; 2925
Efrayim is a half-baked cake not turned. 2926
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, 2927 and he
knows it not: 2928 yes, gray hairs are upon him, yet he
knows it not. 2929
10 And the Excellence of Yisrael testifies to his face: but
they do not make teshuvah to vuvh their Elohim, nor do
they seek Him for all this.
11 Efrayim also is like a silly dove 2930 without lev: 2931
they call to Mitzrayim, they go to Ashshur. 2932
12 When they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will
bring them down as the fowls of the shamayim; I will
chastise them, as their assembly 2933 has heard.
13 Woe to them! For they have strayed far from Me:
destruction to them! Because they have transgressed
against Me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have
spoken lies against and about Me. 2934
14 And they have not cried to Me with their lev, when
they wailed upon their beds: they assemble themselves for
corn and wine, and they rebel against Me. 2935

15 Though I have disciplined and strengthened their
arms, yet do they imagine mischief against Me.
16 They make teshuvah, but not to El-Elyon: they are like
a deceitful bow: their rulers shall fall by the sword for the
rage of their tongue: 2936 this shall be their derision in the
land of Mitzrayim.
8
Set the shofar to your mouth. The enemy shall come as
an eagle against the Bayit of vuvh, 2937 because they have
transgressed My brit, 2938 and trespassed against My
Torah.
2 Yisrael shall cry to Me, My Elohim, we know You.
3 Yisrael has cast off what is tov: 2939 the enemy shall
pursue him.
4 They have set up melechim, but not by Me: they have
made rulers, and I knew it not: from their silver and their
gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may
be cut off. 2940
5 Your golden calf, O Shomron, has been cast off; My
anger is lit against them: how long will it be before they
can be declared innocent? 2941
6 For from Yisrael was it made: the workman made it;
therefore it cannot be Elohim: but the calf of Shomron
shall be broken in pieces.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the
whirlwind: 2942 the stalk has no bud, it shall yield no
grain: 2943 if it does yield, the gerim shall swallow it
up. 2944
8 Yisrael is swallowed up: now shall they be among all
the nations as a vessel in which is no pleasure. 2945
9 For they have gone up to Ashshur, a wild donkey alone
by himself: 2946 Efrayim has hired lovers. 2947
10 Yes, though they have sold themselves to idols among
the nations, now will I gather them, 2948 2949 after they
have suffered a little from the burden of a melech 2950
and rulers. 2951
11 Because Efrayim has made many altars for sin, the
altars shall be counted to him as sin.
12 I have written to him the great and numerous things
from My Torah, 2952 but they were counted as a strange
thing. 2953
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of My offerings,
and eat it; but vuvh accepts them not; now He will
remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall
return to Mitzrayim. 2954
14 For Yisrael has forgotten his Maker, and built
palaces; and Yahudah has multiplied fortified cities: but I
will send a fire upon its cities, and it shall devour its
palaces. 2955
9
Do not gilah, O Yisrael, with simcha, as other
peoples: for you have gone whoring from your Elohim,
you have loved a reward upon every threshing floor. 2956
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the
new wine shall fail in her.
3 They shall not dwell in vuvh’s land; but Efrayim shall
return to Mitzrayim, and they shall eat unclean things
2957 in Ashshur.
4 They shall not offer wine offerings to vuvh, neither shall
they be pleasing to Him: their sacrifices shall be to them
as the lechem of mourners; all that eat it shall be
polluted: for their lechem for their being shall not come
into the Bayit of vuvh.
