  2. And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

  3. And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

  4. Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
