Adama, etc... Adama and Seboim were two cities in the neighborhood of
Sodom: and underwent the like destruction.
11:9. I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return
to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the
midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.
11:10. They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because
he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.
11:11. And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove
out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own
houses, saith the Lord.
11:12. Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of
Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is
faithful with the saints.
Osee Chapter 12
Israel is reproved for sin. God's favours to them.
12:1. Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all
the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a
covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.

visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and
according to his devices.
12:3. In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had
success with an angel.
12:4. And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept,
and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke
with us.
12:5. Even the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.

in thy God always.
12:7. He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he
hath loved oppression.

idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have
committed.
12:9. And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet
cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
12:10. And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions,
and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
12:11. If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering
sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the
furrows of the field.
If Galaad be an idol, etc... That is, if Galaad with all its idols and
sacrifices be like a mere idol itself, being brought to nothing by
Theglathphalasar: how vain is it to expect, that the idols worshipped in
Galgal shall be of any service to the tribes that remain.
12:12. Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a
wife, and was a keeper for a wife.

blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto
him.

redeem them.
13:1. When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal,
and died.
