Futile Reliance on the Nations
11 “Ephraim lalso is like a silly dove, without 5sense—
mThey call to Egypt,
They go to nAssyria.
12 Wherever they go, I will ospread My net on them;
I will bring them down like birds of the air;
I will chastise them
pAccording to what their congregation has heard.
13 “Woe to them, for they have fled from Me!
Destruction to them,
Because they have transgressed against Me!
Though qI redeemed them,
Yet they have spoken lies against Me.
14 rThey did not cry out to Me with their heart
When they wailed upon their beds.
“They 6assemble together for grain and new swine,
7They rebel against Me;
15 Though I disciplined and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me;
16 They return, but not 8to the Most High;
tThey are like a treacherous bow.
Their princes shall fall by the sword
For the ucursings of their tongue.
This shall be their derision vin the land of Egypt.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
