NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hosea 13

Ephraim's Idolatry

1

 aWhen Ephraimh669  1spokeh1696, there was tremblingh7578. He  bexaltedh5375 himselfh1931 in Israelh3478, But through  cBaalh1168a he  2didh816 wrongh816 and diedh4191.

2

And nowh6258 they sinh2398 moreh3254 and moreh3254, And makeh6213a for themselves  amoltenh4541a imagesh4541a, Idolsh6091  1 bskillfullyh8394 made from their silverh3701, Allh3605 of them the  cworkh4639 of craftsmenh2796. They sayh559 of them, "Let the  2menh120 who sacrificeh2076 kissh5401a the  dcalvesh5695!"

3

Thereforeh3651 they will be like the  amorningh1242 cloudh6051 And like dewh2919 which  1soonh7925 disappearsh1980, Like  bchaffh4671b which is blownh5590 awayh5590 from the threshingh1637 floorh1637 And like  csmokeh6227 from a  2chimneyh699.

4

Yet I have been the  aLORDh3068 your Godh430 Sinceh4480 the landh776 of Egypth4714; And you were not to knowh3045  bany godh430 excepth2108 Me, For thereh369 is noh369 saviorh3467  cbesidesh1115 Me.

5

I  1 acaredh3045 for you in the wildernessh4057b,  bIn the landh776 of droughth8514.

6

As they had their pastureh4830, they becameh7646  asatisfiedh7646, And beingh7646 satisfiedh7646, their  bhearth3820 becameh7311 proudh7311; Thereforeh5921h3651 they  cforgoth7911 Me.

7

So I will be  alikeh3644 a lionh7826 to them; Like a  bleopardh5246 I will  1lieh7789 in waith7789 by the waysideh1870.

8

I will encounterh6298 them  alike a bearh1677 robbedh7909b of her cubsh7909b, And I will tearh7167 open  1their chestsh5458h3820; Thereh8033 I will also  bdevourh398 them like a lionessh3833b, As a wildh7704 beasth2421b would tearh1234 them.

9

It is your destructionh7843, O Israelh3478,  1That you are  aagainst Me, against your  bhelph5828.

10

Whereh165 nowh645 is your  akingh4428 That he may saveh3467 you in allh3605 your citiesh5892b, And your  bjudgesh8199 of whomh834 you  1requestedh559, "Giveh5414 me a kingh4428 and princesh8269"?

11

I  agaveh5414 you a kingh4428 in My angerh639 And  btookh3947 him away in My wrathh5678.

12

The iniquityh5771 of Ephraimh669 is boundh6887a up; His sinh2403b is  astoredh6845 up.

13

The painsh2256b of  achildbirthh3205 comeh935 upon him; He is  bnot a wiseh2450 sonh1121, For  1it is not the timeh6256 that he should  cdelayh5975 at the openingh4866h1121 of the wombh4866.

14

Shall I  aransomh6299 them from the  1powerh3027 of Sheolh7585? Shall I redeemh1350 them from deathh4194?  bO Deathh4194, whereh165 are your thornsh1698? O Sheolh7585, whereh165 is your stingh6986?  cCompassionh5164 will be hiddenh5641 from My sighth5869.

15

Thoughh3558 he  aflourishesh6509 amongh996 the  1reedsh260, An  beasth6921 windh6921 will comeh935, The windh7307 of the LORDh3068 comingh5927 up from the wildernessh4057b; And his fountainh4726 will  cbecomeh954 dryh954 And his springh4599 will be driedh2717a up; It will  dplunderh8154 his treasuryh214 of everyh3605 precioush2532 articleh3627.

16

 1Samariah8111 will be heldh816  aguiltyh816, For she has  brebelledh4784 against her Godh430.  cThey will fallh5307 by the  dswordh2719, Their littleh5768 onesh5768 will be  edashedh7376 in piecesh7376, And their pregnanth2034a  fwomenh2030 will be rippedh1234 openh1234.
