¶ The .xiij. Chapter.
¶ Of the abhominacyon of Israell.
A When Ephraim spake, the hethen tr&ebar;bled:
and he was exalted am&obar;ge the
Israelytes, but he is gone backe to
Baal, therfore must he dye. And nowe
they synne more and more: note of their syluer,
they make th&ebar; molten ymages, after the
ymaginacyons of ther awne braynes þt; is,
very ydols, and yet all is nothinge but the
worke of the craftesman: Not witstandynge
they preache of þe; same to such as there sacrificeth:
who so will kysse þe; calues, offreth perfectlye.
Therfore, they shalbe as þe; morninge
cloude, and as the dewe that early passeth awaye
and lyke as dust that þe; whorle wynde
taketh awaye, fr&obar; the flore, and as smoke
that goeth out of the chymney.
B I am the Lorde God, which brought the
out of the lande of Egypt: that thou shuldest
knowe no God but me onely, and that thou
shuldest haue note no Sauioure but only me. note I
toke diligent hede of the in the wyldernesse þe;
drye lande. But when they were well fedde
and had ynough, they waxed proude, ∧ forgat
me note therfore will I be vnto th&ebar; as a ly&obar;
and as a leoparde in þe; waye to þe; Assyrians.
I will come vpon th&ebar; a she beare, þt; is robbed
of her whelpes, ∧ I will breake þt; stubburne
herte of theirs. There will I deuoure th&ebar; as
a lyon: yee: þt; wylde beastes shall teare th&ebar;.
noteO Israel, thine iniquite hath destroyed
þe; but in me only is thy helpe. Where are thy
kynges nowe, that shulde helpe the in all thy
cyties? Yee, and thy iudges, of whom thou
-- --
saydest: note geue me a kyng and princes? well,
I gaue the a kynge in my wrath, and in my
displeasure will I take hym fr&obar; the agayne.
The wyckednesse of Ephraim is bounde together,
and hys synne lyeth hyd. Therfore,
shall sorowes come vpon hym, as vpon a
woman that trauayleth. An vndiscrete sonne
is he, for he consydreth not, that he shulde
not haue bene able to haue endured in the
tyme of hys byrth, had not I defended hym
from the graue, and delyuered hym from
death.
D noteO death, I will be thy death: O hell, I
wyll be thy kynge. Yet can I se no comforte,
for when he is nowe the goodlyest amonge
the brethr&ebar;, the east wynde (euen the wynde
of the Lorde) shall come downe fr&obar; the wildernes,
and drye vp his c&obar;duytes, ∧ dryncke
vp his welles: he shall spoyle the treasure of
all pleasaunt vessels.
As for Samaria, they shalbe made waste,
and why? they are dysobedient vnto theyr
God. They shall peryshe with the swearde,
theyr chyldren shalbe slayne, and their wem&ebar;
great with chylde shalbe rypte vp:
