And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
-
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
-
Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
-
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
-
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
-
Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
-
And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
-
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
-
Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
-
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
-
And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
-
My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
-
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
-
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
-
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
-
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
-
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
