何西阿书 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
斥责以法莲与犹大
12 “以法莲吃风，且追赶东风，时常增添虚谎和强暴，与亚述立约，把油送到埃及。 2 耶和华与犹大争辩，必照雅各所行的惩罚他，按他所做的报应他。 3 他在腹中抓住哥哥的脚跟，壮年的时候与神较力。 4 与天使较力，并且得胜，哭泣恳求。在伯特利遇见耶和华， 5 耶和华万军之神在那里晓谕我们以色列人，耶和华是他可记念的名。
劝其归诚神
6 “所以你当归向你的神，谨守仁爱、公平，常常等候你的神。
以法莲行恶大干主怒
7 “以法莲是商人，手里有诡诈的天平，爱行欺骗。 8 以法莲说：‘我果然成了富足，得了财宝。我所劳碌得来的，人必不见有什么不义，可算为罪的。’ 9 自从你出埃及地以来，我就是耶和华你的神，我必使你再住帐篷，如在大会的日子一样。 10 我已晓谕众先知，并且加增默示，借先知设立比喻。” 11 基列人没有罪孽吗？他们全然是虚假的！人在吉甲献牛犊为祭，他们的祭坛好像田间犁沟中的乱堆。 12 从前雅各逃到亚兰地，以色列为得妻服侍人，为得妻与人放羊。 13 耶和华借先知领以色列从埃及上来，以色列也借先知而得保存。 14 以法莲大大惹动主怒，所以他流血的罪必归在他身上，主必将那因以法莲所受的羞辱归还他。

Hosea 12
New International Version
12 [a]1 Ephraim(A) feeds on the wind;(B)
he pursues the east wind all day
and multiplies lies and violence.(C)
He makes a treaty with Assyria(D)
and sends olive oil to Egypt.(E)
2 The Lord has a charge(F) to bring against Judah;(G)
he will punish(H) Jacob[b] according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.(I)
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;(J)
as a man he struggled(K) with God.
4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him;
he wept and begged for his favor.
He found him at Bethel(L)
and talked with him there—
5 the Lord God Almighty,
the Lord is his name!(M)
6 But you must return(N) to your God;
maintain love and justice,(O)
and wait for your God always.(P)
7 The merchant uses dishonest scales(Q)
and loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim boasts,(R)
“I am very rich; I have become wealthy.(S)
With all my wealth they will not find in me
any iniquity or sin.”
9 “I have been the Lord your God
ever since you came out of Egypt;(T)
I will make you live in tents(U) again,
as in the days of your appointed festivals.
10 I spoke to the prophets,
gave them many visions
and told parables(V) through them.”(W)
11 Is Gilead wicked?(X)
Its people are worthless!
Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal?(Y)
Their altars will be like piles of stones
on a plowed field.(Z)
12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram[c];(AA)
Israel served to get a wife,
and to pay for her he tended sheep.(AB)
13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt,(AC)
by a prophet he cared for him.(AD)
14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger;
his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed(AE)
and will repay him for his contempt.(AF)

Ephraim’s Sins Rebuked by God
12 “Ephraim (A)feeds on the wind,
And pursues the east wind;
He daily increases lies and [a]desolation.
(B)Also they make a [b]covenant with the Assyrians,
And (C)oil is carried to Egypt.
2 “The(D) Lord also brings a [c]charge against Judah,
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
According to his deeds He will recompense him.
3 He took his brother (E)by the heel in the womb,
And in his strength he (F)struggled with God.
4 Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed;
He wept, and sought favor from Him.
He found Him in (G)Bethel,
And there He spoke to us—
5 That is, the Lord God of hosts.
The Lord is His (H)memorable name.
6 (I)So you, by the help of your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.
7 “A cunning [d]Canaanite!
(J)Deceitful scales are in his hand;
He loves to oppress.
8 And Ephraim said,
(K)‘Surely I have become rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’
9 “But I am the Lord your God,
Ever since the land of Egypt;
(L)I will again make you dwell in tents,
As in the days of the appointed feast.
10 (M)I have also spoken by the prophets,
And have multiplied visions;
I have given [e]symbols [f]through the witness of the prophets.”
11 Though (N)Gilead has idols—
Surely they are [g]vanity—
Though they sacrifice bulls in (O)Gilgal,
Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 Jacob (P)fled to the country of Syria;
(Q)Israel served for a spouse,
And for a wife he tended sheep.
13 (R)By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,
And by a prophet he was preserved.
14 Ephraim (S)provoked Him to anger most bitterly;
Therefore his Lord will leave the guilt of his bloodshed upon him,
(T)And return his reproach upon him.
