- "So the postsª° passedª°¹ from cityª¹ to cityª through the countryª of Ephraimª and Manassehª even unto¹ Zebulun:ª but they laughed them to scorn,ª°¹¹ and mockedª° them. ... Nevertheless¹ divers²¹ of Asherª¹ and Manassehª and of Zebulunª¹ humbled²° themselves,¹ and cameª° to Jerusalem.ª" {2Ch 30:10-11} + "But there cameª° a manª of Godª to¹ him, saying,ª° O king,ª let not¹ the armyª of Israelª goª° with¹ thee; for¹ the LORDª [is] not¹ with¹ Israel,ª [to wit, with] all¹ the childrenª of Ephraim.ª" {2Ch 25:7} + "So killª° the passover,ª and sanctify²° yourselves,¹ and prepareª° your brethren,ª that [they] may doª° according to the wordª of the LORDª by the handª of Moses.ª" {2Ch 35:6} + "They will not¹ frameª° their doingsª to turnª° unto¹ their God:ª for¹ the spiritª of whoredomsª [is] in the midstª of them, and they have not¹ knownª° the LORD.ª" {Hsa 5:4} + "Ephraim,ª he¹ hath mixed²° himself¹ among the people;ª Ephraimª is¹ a cakeª not¹ turned.ª° ... Strangersª° have devouredª° his strength,ª and he¹ knowethª° [it] not:¹ yea,¹ gray hairsª are here and thereª° upon him, yet he¹ knowethª° not.¹" {Hsa 7:8-9} + "How¹ shall I give thee up,ª° Ephraim?ª [how] shall I deliverª° thee, Israel?ª how¹ shall I makeª° thee as Admah?ª [how] shall I setª° thee as Zeboim?ª mine heartª is turnedª° within¹ me, my repentingsª are kindledª° together.ª" {Hsa 11:8}
