1Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
1CERCÓME Ephraim con mentira, y la casa de Israel con engaño: mas Judá aun domina con Dios, y es fiel con los santos.
2The LORD also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his deeds he will repay him.

5even the LORD, the God of Armies. The LORD is his name of renown!
5Venció al ángel, y prevaleció; lloró, y rogóle: en Beth-el le halló, y allí habló con nosotros.

9“But I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
9Y dijo Ephraim: Ciertamente yo he enriquecido, hallado he riquezas para mí: nadie hallará en mí iniquidad, ni pecado en todos mis trabajos.
10I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.

12Jacob fled into the country of Aram. Israel served to get a wife. For a wife he tended flocks and herds.
