Ephraim Reminded
Ephraim feeds on the emptiness of the awindAnd continually pursues the parching beast wind which brings destruction;Every day he multiplies lies and violence.Further, he makes a covenant with AssyriaAnd (olive) oil is carried to Egypt to seek alliances. Is 30:6, 72 The LORD also has a adispute a legal complaint and an indictment with Judah,And He will punish Jacob bin accordance with his ways;He will repay him in accordance with his deeds.3 In their mother’s womb he atook his brother by the heel,And in his maturity he bcontended with God. Gen 25:26; 27:364 He wrestled with the angel and prevailed;He wept in repentance and asought His favor.He met Him at bBethelAnd there God spoke with him and through him with us— Gen 28:12-19; 32:28; 35:1-155 Even the LORD, the God of hosts,The aname of Him who spoke with Jacob is the LORD.6 Therefore, areturn in repentance to your God,bObserve and highly regard kindness and justice,And cwait expectantly for your God continually.7 A merchant, in whose hand are afalse and fraudulent balances;He loves to oppress and exploit.8 Ephraim said, “I have indeed become arich and powerful as a nation;I have found wealth for myself.In all my labors they will not find in mebAny wickedness that would be sin.” Rev 3:179 But I have been the LORD your God since you became a nation in the land of Egypt;I will make you alive in tents again,As in the days of the appointed and solemn 1festival. Lev 23:39-4310 I have also spoken to you through the aprophets,And I gave them many visions to make My will known,And through the prophets I gave bparables to appeal to your sense of right and wrong.11 Is there wickedness (idolatry) in Gilead?Surely the people there are worthless.In Gilgal they defy Me when they sacrifice bulls,aYes, after My judgment their pagan altars are like the stone heapsIn the furrows of the fields.
12 aNow Jacob (Israel) fled into the open country of Aram (Paddan-aram) , Gen 28:2, 5And there bIsrael (Jacob) worked and served for a wife,And for a wife he kept sheep. Gen 29:18-20; 30:31; 31:38-4113 And by a aprophet (Moses) the LORD brought Israel up from Egypt,And by a prophet Israel was preserved.14 aEphraim has provoked most bitter anger;So his Lord will leave his bbloodguilt on him invoking punishmentAnd bring back to him his cshame and dishonor.
