1Ephraim's just chasing vibes and blowing smoke; he’s all about those lies and chaos. They’re vibing with the Assyrians and sending oil to Egypt, no cap.

2The Lord's got beef with Judah, and He’s gonna hit Jacob with some karma based on his moves, periodt.

3He grabbed his bro’s heel in the womb, and he flexed his strength with God, that’s rizz.

4For real, he had the upper hand over the angel and came out on top; he cried and asked for help, found him at Beth-el, and they had a deep convo.

5The Lord of Hosts is the real deal; His name is legendary.

6So, fam, turn back to your God: keep it real with mercy and justice, and stay patient with Him, always.

7He’s a hustler, holding those deceitful scales; he loves to flex on others.

8Ephraim’s like, “I’m rich now, found my grind,” but for real, there’s no shady business in my hustle.

9Yo, I’m the Lord your God from Egypt, and I’ll still have you chilling in tents like the good old days.

10I’ve dropped knowledge through the prophets, dishing out visions and metaphors, keeping it lit.

11Is there any sus stuff in Gilead? For sure, it’s just empty vibes; they’re sacrificing bulls in Gilgal, and their altars are just piles in the fields.

12Jacob bounced to Syria, and Israel worked for a wife while keeping sheep, that hustle.

13A prophet led Israel out of Egypt, and through him, they stayed safe, fr.

14Ephraim pushed the Lord’s buttons hard, so his blood’s on him, and his shame’s gonna come back to bite him.

1Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

2The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

3He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

4Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Beth–el, and there he spake with us;

5Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial.

6Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.

7He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

8And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.

9And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.

10I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

11Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

12And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

13And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

14Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
