1Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the children of Ashur, and oil is carried into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

2The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has also a controversy with Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and will punish Ya’akov [Heal of God] 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-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]:

4Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him [in] Beit-El [House of God], and there he spoke with us;

5Even the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] his memorial.

6Therefore turn youⁱ to yourⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on yourⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] continually.

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

8And Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) yourⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] from the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] will yet make youⁱ 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.

11[Is there] iniquity [in] Gil’ad [Rocky Region]? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling]; yes, their altars [are] as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

12And Ya’akov [Heal of God] fled into the country of Aram (Syria) [exalted], and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].

13And by a prophet the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) brought Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and by a prophet was he preserved.

14Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] provoked [him] to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach (disgrace; shame) shall his Lord [Adon – Ruler of the Earth] return unto him.
