כִּ֣י ki “for”

They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after [ergänzt: man's] command.

כִּ֣י ki “for”

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

כִּ֣י ki “for”

Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

כִּ֛י ki “for”

For I desire goodness, 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 toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.

כִּ֥י ki “for”

When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without.

כִּ֥י ki “for”

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.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me.

כִּ֤י ki “for”כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

כִּ֛י ki “for”

For they are gone up to Assyria, [ergänzt: like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast played the harlot, [ergänzt: departing] from thy God; thou hast loved hire upon every grain-floor.

כִּ֥י ki “for”

They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Jehovah, 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 shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

For, lo, they are gone away from destruction; [ergänzt: yet] Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

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

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters.

כִּֽי־ ki- “for”

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

כִּ֣י ki “if”

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

כִּ֛י ki “for”

Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?
