ahava of vuvh towards the children of Yisrael, who look
to other elohim, and love their raisin cakes. 2868
2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, for
one and a half homers of barley:
3 And I said to her, You shall abide with me many days;
you shall not play the whore, and you shall not be given
to another man: so will I also be towards you.
4 For the children of Yisrael shall abide many days
without a melech, 2869 and without a sar, and without a
sacrifice, 2870 and without an altar, 2871 and without a
shoulder garment, 2872 and burning of incense: 2873
5 Afterwards shall the children of Yisrael make
teshuvah, 2874 and seek vuvh their Elohim, and Dawid
their Melech; 2875 and shall come with fear to vuvh and
His abundant tov in the latter-days. 2876
4
Hear the word of vuvh, you children of Yisrael: for
vuvh has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,
because there is no emet, no rachamim, nor da’at of
Elohim in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and
committing adultery, they break out, and bloodshed
follows bloodshed.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that
dwells in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and
with the fowls of the shamayim; yes, the fishes of the sea
also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for your
people are engaged in controversy like those striving with
a kohen.
5 Therefore shall you fall in the day, and the navi also
shall fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your
mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of da’at: because you
have rejected da’at, I will also reject you, that you shall
not be a kohen to Me: seeing you have forgotten the
Torah of your Elohim, 2877 I will also forget your
children. 2878
7 As they were increased, 2879 so they sinned against Me:
therefore will I change their tifereth into shame.
8 They feed upon the sin of My people, and they set their
lev on their iniquity.
9 And it shall be, like people, like kohen: and I will punish
them both for their halachot, and reward all their doings.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall
commit whoring, and shall not increase: because they
have stopped obeying vuvh.
11 Whoring and new wine take away their lev.
12 My people ask counsel of their own imaginations, and
their blind man’s staff leads them: for the ruach of
whoring has caused them to go astray, and they have
gone whoring away from their Elohim.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and
burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and
elms, because their shadow is tov: therefore your
daughters shall commit whoring, and your spouses shall
commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit
whoring, or your spouses when they commit adultery: for
the men themselves are separated with whores, and they
sacrifice with cult prostitutes: a people that does not
understand shall fall.
15 Though you, Yisrael, 2880 played the whore, yet let not

Yahudah become guilty also; and go not to Gilgal, neither
go up to Beth-Aven, nor swear by an oath saying, As vuvh
lives.
16 For Yisrael is stubborn like a backslidden heifer: now
shall vuvh feed them like a lamb in a large place?
17 Efrayim is joined to idols: leave him alone. 2881
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoring
continually: her rulers widely love shame.
19 The wind has bound her up in her wings, 2882 and they
shall yet be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
5
Listen to this, O Kohanim; and pay attention, Beit
Yisrael; and give ear, O bayit of the melech; for mishpat
is coming to you, because you have been a trap to
Mitzpah, and a net spread over Tavor.
2 And the rebel hunters have deepened their slaughter, so
I will chastise them all.
3 I know Efrayim, and Yisrael is not hidden from Me: 2883
but now, O Efrayim, you commit whoring, and Yisrael is
defiled. 2884
4 They will not change their doings to make teshuvah to
their Elohim: for the ruach of whoring is in the midst of
them, and they have not known vuvh. 2885
5 And the pride of Yisrael does testify to Elohim’s face:
therefore shall Yisrael and Efrayim fall in their iniquity:
Yahudah also shall fall with them. 2886
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to
seek vuvh; but they shall not find Him; He has withdrawn
Himself from them. 2887
7 They have acted treacherously against vuvh: for they
have begotten strange children: 2888 now shall a
Rosh Chodesh 2889 devour them with their portions.
8 Blow the shofar in Givat, and the shofar in Ramah: cry
aloud at Beth-Aven, behind you, O Benyamin.
9 Efrayim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among
the tribes of Yisrael have I made known that which shall
surely be. 2890
10 The leaders of Yahudah were like those that remove a
border: 2891 therefore I will pour out My wrath upon them
like mayim. 2892
11 Efrayim is oppressed and broken in My mishpat,
2893 2894
because he willingly walked after Tsaw.
12 Therefore will I be to Efrayim as a moth, 2895 and to
Beit Yahudah as rottenness.
13 When Efrayim saw his sickness, and Yahudah saw his
wound, then Efrayim went to the Ashurite, and sent to
Melech Yarev: 2896 yet he could not heal you, nor cure
you of your wound. 2897
14 For I will be to Efrayim as a lion, and as a young lion
to Beit Yahudah: 2898 I, even I, 2899 will tear and go away;
I will take away, 2900 and none shall rescue them.
15 I will go and return to My place, 2901 until they
acknowledge their offence, and seek My face: in their
affliction 2902 2903 2904
they will seek Me early.
6
Come, and let us 2905 make teshuvah to vuvh: for He
has torn, and He will heal us; He has smitten, and He will
bind us up. 2906
2 After two days 2907 will He revive us: 2908 on the third
day He will raise us up, 2909 and we shall live in His
sight. 2910
3 Then shall we know, how to follow forward to know
vuvh: 2911 His going forth is prepared as the morning; 2912
