כִּ֤י ki “for”

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

כִּ֣י ki “for”

For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

כִּ֣י ki “for”

Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

כִּ֛י ki “for”

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

כִּ֛י ki “for”

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

And they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

כִּ֤י ki “for”כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

כִּ֛י ki “for”

For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.

כִּ֥י ki “for”

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

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

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.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

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

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

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

כִּ֣י ki “if”

כִּ֛י ki “for”

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