1Effraym fedith wynd, and sueth heete. Al dai he multiplieth leesyng, and distriyng; and he made boond of pees with Assiriens, and bar oile in to Egipt. 2Therfor the doom of the Lord is with Juda, and visityng is on Jacob; bi the weies of hym, and bi the fyndyngis of hym he schal yelde to hym. 3In the wombe he supplauntide his brother, and in his strengthe he was dressid with the aungel. 4And he was strong to the aungel, and was coumfortid; he wepte, and preiede hym; in Bethel he foond hym, and there he spak with vs. 5And the Lord God of oostis, the Lord, is the memorial of hym. 6And thou schalt turne to thi God. Kepe thou merci and doom, and hope thou euere in thi God. 7Chanaan louyde fals caleng, a gileful balaunce in his hond. 8And Effraym seide, Netheles Y am maad riche, Y haue founde an idol to me; alle my trauelis schulen not fynde to me the wickidnesse, whiche Y synnede. 9And Y am thi Lord God fro the lond of Egipt; yit Y schal make thee to sitte in tabernaclis, as in the daies of feeste. 10And Y spak bi profetis, and Y multiplied profesie, and Y was licned in the hond of profetis. 11If Galaad worschipith an idol, therfor thei erren in veyn offryng to oxis in Galgal; for whi and the auteris of hem schulen be as heepis on the forewis of the feeld. 12Jacob fledde in to the cuntrei of Sirie, and Israel seruyde for a wijf, and seruyde, ether kepte, for a wijf. 13But bi a profete the Lord ledde Israel out of Egipt, and bi a profete he was kept. 14Effraym terride me to wrathfulnesse in hise bitternessis, and the blood of hym schal come on hym; and his Lord schal restore to hym the schenschipe of him.
