Hosea 13:1-14

English Standard Version

The Lord's Relentless Judgment on Israel

13 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
    ^(A)he was exalted in Israel,
    but he incurred guilt ^(B)through Baal and died.
²And now they sin more and more,
    and ^(C)make for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
    ^(D)all of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
    “Those who offer human sacrifice ^(E)kiss calves!”
³Therefore they shall be ^(F)like the morning mist
    or ^(G)like the dew that goes early away,
^(H)like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor
    or ^(I)like smoke from a window.

⁴But ^(J)I am the Lord your God
    from the land of Egypt;
^(K)you know no God but me,
    and ^(L)besides me there is no savior.
⁵^(M)It was I who knew you in the wilderness,
    in the land of drought;
⁶^(N)but when they had grazed,^[a] they became full,
    ^(O)they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;
    ^(P)therefore they forgot me.
⁷So ^(Q)I am to them like a lion;
    ^(R)like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
⁸I will fall upon them ^(S)like a bear robbed of her cubs;
    I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
    ^(T)as a wild beast would rip them open.

⁹He destroys^[b] you, O Israel,
    for you are against me, against ^(U)your helper.
¹⁰^(V)Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities?
    Where are all your rulers—
those of whom ^(W)you said,
    “Give me a king and princes”?
¹¹^(X)I gave you a king in my anger,
    and ^(Y)I took him away in my wrath.

¹²The iniquity of Ephraim is ^(Z)bound up;
    his sin is ^(AA)kept in store.
¹³^(AB)The pangs of childbirth come for him,
    but he is an unwise son,
for at the right time he does not present himself
    ^(AC)at the opening of the womb.

¹⁴^(AD)I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol;
    ^(AE)I shall redeem them from Death.^[c]
^(AF)O ^(AG)Death, where are your plagues?
    ^(AH)O ^(AI)Sheol, where is your sting?
    ^(AJ)Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

English Standard Version

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 ^(A)“Let not your hearts be troubled. ^(B)Believe in God;^[a] believe also in me. ²In ^(C)my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that ^(D)I go to prepare a place for you?^[b] ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you ^(E)to myself, that ^(F)where I am you may be also. ⁴And you know the way to where I am going.”^[c] ⁵^(G)Thomas said to him, “Lord, ^(H)we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ⁶Jesus said to him, “I am ^(I)the way, and ^(J)the truth, and ^(K)the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷^(L)If you had known me, you would have ^(M)known my Father also.^[d] From now on you do know him and ^(N)have seen him.”

⁸^(O)Philip said to him, “Lord, ^(P)show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^(Q)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Do you not believe that ^(R)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^(S)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that ^(T)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^(U)believe on account of the works themselves.

¹²“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(V)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I ^(W)am going to the Father. ¹³^(X)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that ^(Y)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴^(Z)If you ask me^[e] anything in my name, I will do it.
