1 # When I would have healed <07495> (8800) Israel <03478>, then the iniquity <05771> of Ephraim <0669> was discovered <01540> (8738), and the wickedness <07451> of Samaria <08111>: for they commit <06466> (8804) falsehood <08267> ; and the thief <01590> cometh in <0935> (8799), and the troop <01416> of robbers spoileth <06584> (8804) without <02351>.
2 And they consider <0559> (8799) not in their hearts <03824> that I remember <02142> (8804) all their wickedness <07451>: now their own doings <04611> have beset them about <05437> (8804); they are before my face <06440>.
3 They make the king <04428> glad <08055> (8762) with their wickedness <07451>, and the princes <08269> with their lies <03585>.
4 They are all adulterers <05003> (8764), as an oven <08574> heated <01197> (8802) by the baker <0644> (8802), who ceaseth <07673> (8799) from raising <05782> (8800) after he hath kneaded <03888> (8800) the dough <01217>, until it be leavened <02556> (8800).
5 In the day <03117> of our king <04428> the princes <08269> have made him sick <02470> (8689) with bottles <02534> of wine <03196>; he stretched out <04900> (8804) his hand <03027> with scorners <03945> (8802).
6 For they have made ready <07126> (8765) their heart <03820> like an oven <08574>, whiles they lie in wait <0693> (8800): their baker <0644> (8802) sleepeth <03463> all the night <03915>; in the morning <01242> it burneth <01197> (8802) as a flaming <03852> fire <0784>.
7 They are all hot <02552> (8735) as an oven <08574>, and have devoured <0398> (8804) their judges <08199> (8802); all their kings <04428> are fallen <05307> (8804): there is none among them that calleth <07121> (8802) unto me.
8 # Ephraim <0669>, he hath mixed <01101> (8704) himself among the people <05971>; Ephraim <0669> is a cake <05692> not turned <02015> (8803).
9 Strangers <02114> (8801) have devoured <0398> (8804) his strength <03581>, and he knoweth <03045> (8804) it not: yea, gray hairs <07872> are here and there <02236> (8804) upon him, yet he knoweth <03045> (8804) not.
10 And the pride <01347> of Israel <03478> testifieth <06030> (8804) to his face <06440>: and they do not return <07725> (8804) to the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, nor seek <01245> (8765) him for all this.
11 Ephraim <0669> also is like a silly <06601> (8802) dove <03123> without heart <03820>: they call <07121> (8804) to Egypt <04714>, they go <01980> (8804) to Assyria <0804>.
12 When they shall go <03212> (8799), I will spread <06566> (8799) my net <07568> upon them; I will bring them down <03381> (8686) as the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064>; I will chastise <03256> (8686) them, as their congregation <05712> hath heard <08088>.
13 Woe <0188> unto them! for they have fled <05074> (8804) from me: destruction <07701> unto them! because they have transgressed <06586> (8804) against me: though I have redeemed <06299> (8799) them, yet they have spoken <01696> (8765) lies <03577> against me.
14 And they have not cried <02199> (8804) unto me with their heart <03820>, when they howled <03213> (8686) upon their beds <04904>: they assemble <01481> (8709) themselves for corn <01715> and wine <08492>, and they rebel <05493> (8799) against me.
15 Though I have bound <03256> (8765) and strengthened <02388> (8765) their arms <02220>, yet do they imagine <02803> (8762) mischief <07451> against me.
16 They return <07725> (8799), but not to the most High <05920>: they are like a deceitful <07423> bow <07198> : their princes <08269> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719> for the rage <02195> of their tongue <03956>: this <02097> shall be their derision <03933> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
