The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 13

1: When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

2: And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idolsaccording to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

3: Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

4: Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviourbeside me.

5: I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

6: According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

7: Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:

8: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, andthere will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.

9: O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

10: I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

11: I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

12: The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

13: The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.

14: I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
1 Cor 15:55

15: Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.

16: Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
