When I would have healed
Israel,
then the iniquity
of Ephraim
was discovered,
and the wickedness
of Samaria:
for they commit
falsehood;
and the thief
cometh in,
and the troop
of robbers spoileth
without.
And they consider
not in their hearts
that I remember
all their wickedness:
now their own doings
have beset them about;
they are before my face.

They make the king
glad
with their wickedness,
and the princes
with their lies.
They are all adulterers,
as an oven
heated
by the baker,
who ceaseth
from raising
after he hath kneaded
the dough,
until it be leavened.
In the day
of our king
the princes
have made him sick
with bottles
of wine;
he stretched out
his hand
with scorners.
For they have made ready
their heart
like an oven,
whiles they lie in wait:
their baker
sleepeth
all the night;
in the morning
it burneth
as a flaming
fire.

They are all hot
as an oven,
and have devoured
their judges;
all their kings
are fallen:
there is none among them that calleth
unto me.
Ephraim,
he hath mixed
himself among the people;
Ephraim
is a cake
not turned.

Strangers
have devoured
his strength,
and he knoweth
it not: yea, gray hairs
are here and there
upon him, yet he knoweth
not.
And the pride
of Israel
testifieth
to his face:
and they do not return
to the LORD
their God,
nor seek
him for all this.
Ephraim
also is like a silly
dove
without heart:
they call
to Egypt,
they go
to Assyria.
When they shall go,
I will spread
my net
upon them; I will bring them down
as the fowls
of the heaven;
I will chastise
them, as their congregation
hath heard.
Woe
unto them! for they have fled
from me: destruction
unto them! because they have transgressed
against me: though I have redeemed
them, yet they have spoken
lies
against me.

And they have not cried
unto me with their heart,
when they howled
upon their beds:
they assemble
themselves for corn
and wine,
and they rebel
against me.
Though I have bound
and strengthened
their arms,
yet do they imagine
mischief
against me.
They return,
but not to the most High:
they are like a deceitful
bow:
their princes
shall fall
by the sword
for the rage
of their tongue:
this
shall be their derision
in the land
of Egypt.
