KJV ¹ Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

VULC ¹ [Noli lætari, Israël ;
noli exsultare sicut populi :
quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo ;
dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.

KJV ² The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

VULC ² Area et torcular non pascet eos,
et vinum mentietur eis :

KJV ³ They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

VULC ³ non habitabunt in terra Domini.
Reversus est Ephraim in Ægyptum,
et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.

KJV ⁴ They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

VULC ⁴ Non libabunt Domino vinum,
et non placebunt ei.
Sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium ;
omnes qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur :
quia panis eorum animæ ipsorum :
non intrabit in domum Domini.

KJV ⁵ What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

VULC ⁵ Quid facietis in die solemni,
in die festivitatis Domini ?

KJV ⁶ For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

VULC ⁶ Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate :
Ægyptus congregabit eos ;
Memphis sepeliet eos :
desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hæreditabit,
lappa in tabernaculis eorum.

KJV ⁷ The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.

VULC ⁷ Venerunt dies visitationis,
venerunt dies retributionis.
Scitote, Israël,
stultum prophetam,
insanum virum spiritualem,
propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ,
et multitudinem amentiæ.

KJV ⁸ The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

VULC ⁸ Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo,
propheta laqueus ruinæ factus est super omnes vias ejus ;
insania in domo Dei ejus.

KJV ⁹ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

VULC ⁹ Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa.
Recordabitur iniquitatis eorum,
et visitabit peccata eorum.

KJV ¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

VULC ¹⁰ Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israël,
quasi prima poma ficulneæ in cacumine ejus vidi patres eorum :
ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor,
et abalienati sunt in confusionem,
et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea quæ dilexerunt.

KJV ¹¹ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

VULC ¹¹ Ephraim quasi avis avolavit ;
gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.

KJV ¹² Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

VULC ¹² Quod etsi enutrierint filios suos,
absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus ;
sed et væ eis cum recessero ab eis !

KJV ¹³ Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

VULC ¹³ Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine ;
et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.

KJV ¹⁴ Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

VULC ¹⁴ Da eis, Domine. Quid dabis eis ?
da eis vulvam sine liberis, et ubera arentia.

KJV ¹⁵ All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

VULC ¹⁵ Omnes nequitiæ eorum in Galgal,
quia ibi exosos habui eos.
Propter malitiam adinventionum eorum,
de domo mea ejiciam eos ;
non addam ut diligam eos :
omnes principes eorum recedentes.

KJV ¹⁶ Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

VULC ¹⁶ Percussus est Ephraim ;
radix eorum exsiccata est :
fructum nequaquam facient,
quod etsi genuerint,
interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.

KJV ¹⁷ My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

VULC ¹⁷ Abjiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum,
et erunt vagi in nationibus.]

KJV ¹ Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.

VULC ¹ [Vitis frondosa Israël,
fructus adæquatus est ei :
secundum multitudinem fructus sui multiplicavit altaria,
juxta ubertatem terræ suæ exuberavit simulacris.

KJV ² Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

VULC ² Divisum est cor eorum, nunc interibunt ;
ipse confringet simulacra eorum,
depopulabitur aras eorum.

KJV ³ For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

VULC ³ Quia nunc dicent : Non est rex nobis,
non enim timemus Dominum ;
et rex quid faciet nobis ?

KJV ⁴ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

VULC ⁴ Loquimini verba visionis inutilis, et ferietis fœdus ;
et germinabit quasi amaritudo judicium super sulcos agri.

KJV ⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.

VULC ⁵ Vaccas Bethaven coluerunt habitatores Samariæ ;
quia luxit super eum populus ejus,
et æditui ejus super eum exsultaverunt
in gloria ejus, quia migravit ab eo.

KJV ⁶ It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

VULC ⁶ Siquidem et ipse in Assur delatus est,
munus regi ultori.
Confusio Ephraim capiet,
et confundetur Israël in voluntate sua.

KJV ⁷ As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.

VULC ⁷ Transire fecit Samaria regem suum
quasi spumam super faciem aquæ.

KJV ⁸ The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

VULC ⁸ Et disperdentur excelsa idoli, peccatum Israël ;
lappa et tribulus ascendet super aras eorum :
et dicent montibus : Operite nos,
et collibus : Cadite super nos.

KJV ⁹ O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

VULC ⁹ Ex diebus Gabaa peccavit Israël ;
ibi steterunt.
Non comprehendet eos in Gabaa
prælium super filios iniquitatis.

KJV ¹⁰ It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

VULC ¹⁰ Juxta desiderium meum corripiam eos :
congregabuntur super eos populi,
cum corripientur propter duas iniquitates suas.

KJV ¹¹ And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

VULC ¹¹ Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram,
et ego transivi super pulchritudinem colli ejus :
ascendam super Ephraim,
arabit Judas ;
confringet sibi sulcos Jacob.

KJV ¹² Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

VULC ¹² Seminate vobis in justitia,
et metite in ore misericordiæ.
Innovate vobis novale ;
tempus autem requirendi Dominum,
cum venerit qui docebit vos justitiam.

KJV ¹³ Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

VULC ¹³ Arastis impietatem,
iniquitatem messuistis :
comedistis frugem mendacii,
quia confisus es in viis tuis,
in multitudine fortium tuorum.

KJV ¹⁴ Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

VULC ¹⁴ Consurget tumultus in populo tuo ;
et omnes munitiones tuæ vastabuntur,
sicut vastatus est Salmana a domo ejus qui judicavit Baal
in die prælii, matre super filios allisa.

KJV ¹⁵ So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

VULC ¹⁵ Sic fecit vobis Bethel,
a facie malitiæ nequitiarum vestrarum.]

KJV ¹ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

VULC ¹ [Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël.
Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum ;
et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.

KJV ² As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

VULC ² Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum ;
Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.

KJV ³ I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

VULC ³ Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim :
portabam eos in brachiis meis,
et nescierunt quod curarem eos.

KJV ⁴ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

VULC ⁴ In funiculis Adam traham eos,
in vinculis caritatis ;
et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum,
et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.

KJV ⁵ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

VULC ⁵ Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus,
quoniam noluerunt converti.

KJV ⁶ And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

VULC ⁶ Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus,
et consumet electos ejus,
et comedet capita eorum.

KJV ⁷ And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

VULC ⁷ Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum ;
jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.

KJV ⁸ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

VULC ⁸ Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim ?
protegam te, Israël ?
Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama,
ponam te ut Seboim ?
Conversum est in me cor meum,
pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.

KJV ⁹ I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

VULC ⁹ Non faciam furorem iræ meæ ;
non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim,
quoniam Deus ego, et non homo ;
in medio tui sanctus,
et non ingrediar civitatem.

KJV ¹⁰ They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

VULC ¹⁰ Post Dominum ambulabunt ;
quasi leo rugiet,
quia ipse rugiet,
et formidabunt filii maris.

KJV ¹¹ They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

VULC ¹¹ Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto,
et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum :
et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.]

KJV ¹² Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

VULC ¹² [Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim,
et in dolo domus Israël ;
Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo,
et cum sanctis fidelis.]

KJV ¹ Ephraim 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.

VULC ¹ [Ephraim pascit ventum,
et sequitur æstum ;
tota die mendacium et vastitatem multiplicat :
et fœdus cum Assyriis iniit,
et oleum in Ægyptum ferebat.

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

VULC ² Judicium ergo Domini cum Juda,
et visitatio super Jacob :
juxta vias ejus, et juxta adinventiones ejus reddet ei.

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

VULC ³ In utero supplantavit fratrem suum,
et in fortitudine sua directus est cum angelo.

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

VULC ⁴ Et invaluit ad angelum, et confortatus est ;
flevit, et rogavit eum.
In Bethel invenit eum,
et ibi locutus est nobiscum.

KJV ⁵ Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.

VULC ⁵ Et Dominus Deus exercituum,
Dominus memoriale ejus.

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

VULC ⁶ Et tu ad Deum tuum converteris ;
misericordiam et judicium custodi,
et spera in Deo tuo semper.

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

VULC ⁷ Chanaan, in manu ejus statera dolosa,
calumniam dilexit.

KJV ⁸ And 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.

VULC ⁸ Et dixit Ephraim : Verumtamen dives effectus sum ;
inveni idolum mihi :
omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem quam peccavi.

KJV ⁹ And 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.

VULC ⁹ Et ego Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Ægypti :
adhuc sedere te faciam in tabernaculis, sicut in diebus festivitatis.

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

VULC ¹⁰ Et locutus sum super prophetas,
et ego visionem multiplicavi,
et in manu prophetarum assimilatus sum.

KJV ¹¹ Is 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.

VULC ¹¹ Si Galaad idolum, ergo frustra erant in Galgal bobus immolantes ;
nam et altaria eorum quasi acervi super sulcos agri.

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

VULC ¹² Fugit Jacob in regionem Syriæ,
et servivit Israël in uxorem,
et in uxorem servavit.

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

VULC ¹³ In propheta autem eduxit Dominus Israël de Ægypto,
et in propheta servatus est.

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

VULC ¹⁴ Ad iracundiam me provocavit Ephraim in amaritudinibus suis :
et sanguis ejus super eum veniet,
et opprobrium ejus restituet ei Dominus suus.]
