CAP. XIII.
1 Effraym spekynge, errour assailide
Yrael; and he trespasside in Baal, and
is dead.
2 And now thei puttiden to for
-- --
to synne, and maden to hem a &yogh;oten
thing of her syluer, as the licknesse of
ydols; the makyng of crafty men it is
al. To these thei sayen, Offre, &yogh;e men, wirshippynge
calues.
3 Therfore thei shuln
be as a morewe clowde, or myst, and as
morewe dewe passynge, as dust rauyshid
with whirlwynd of the feeld, and as
smoke of the chymney.
4 Forsothe Y the
Lord thi God, of the lond of Egypt; and
thou shalt not knowe God, with outen
me, and saueour is not, out take me.
5 Y
knewe thee in desert, in the lond of wildernesse.
6 Bysidis her lesewis and thei
ben fulfillid, and ful crammyd; thei lyftiden
vp her herte, and for&yogh;aten me.
7 And
Y shal be to hem as a lyounesse, and as
a paard in the waye of Assyriens.
8 Y
shal renne to hem as a she bere, the
whelpis rauyshid; and Y shal breke the
ynner thingis of her mawe, and Y shal
waastye hem there as a lyoun. A beest
of the feeld shal kitte hem.
9 Thi losse,
Yrael; oonly of me thin help.
10 Wher is
thi kyng? most now saue he thee in alle
thi citees; and thi domysmen, of whom
thou saidist, &YOGH;eue thou to me a kyng, and
princis?
11 And Y shal &yogh;eue to thee a kyng
in my wodenesse, and Y shal take awey
in myn indignacioun.
12 The wickidnesse
of Effraym is bounden to gidre; the synne
of hym hydde.
13 Sorewis of a womman
berynge chijld shuln cume to hym; he
is a sone not wijse. Now forsothe he shal
not stonde in contricioun of sonys.
14 Of
the hond of deth Y shal delyuere hem,
Y shal a&yogh;ein bye hem fro deth. Thou
deth, Y shal be thi deth; thou helle, Y
shal be thi morsel. Coumfort is hid fro
myn ee&yogh;en,
15 for he departith among bretheren.
The Lord shal brenge a brennynge
wynd, of desert steiynge vp; and
shal drye the veynis therof, and discoumforte,
or leeue aloon, the welle therof;
and he shal rauyshe tresour of eche desirable
vessel.
1 Perishe Samarie, for to
-- --
bitternesse she stiride hir God; in swerd
perishe it. The litil childre of hem ben
hurtlid, and wymmen with chijld of it
ben coruen out.
