Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly.
IT's true, (saith God by the Prophet) I loved your Father Jacob, and I have magnified my self towards 1his posterity in great and wonderful things which I have done for them. But you have been a wretched people, and provoked me most bitterly: as if he should say, I have a spirit of gentleness, sweetness and love, as indeed 2there is nothing else in God, if he be not provoked, If there be any anger, it is from mens provoking him.
