Relentless Judgment on Israel
1 When Ephraim spoke, trembling,
He exalted himself in Israel;
But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
He exalted himself in Israel;
But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
2 Now they sin more and more,
And have made for themselves molded images,
Idols of their silver, according to their skill;
All of it is the work of craftsmen.
They say of them,
“Let1 the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!”
And have made for themselves molded images,
Idols of their silver, according to their skill;
All of it is the work of craftsmen.
They say of them,
“Let1 the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!”
3 Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud
And like the early dew that passes away,
aLike chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.
And like the early dew that passes away,
aLike chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.
