When I would have healed <H7495> Israel, <H3478> then the iniquity <H5771> of Ephraim <H0669> was discovered, <H1540> and the wickedness <H7451> of Samaria: <H8111> for they commit <H6466> falsehood; <H8267> and the thief <H1590> cometh in, <H0935> [and] the troop <H1416> of robbers spoileth <H6584> without. <H2351>
2
And they consider <H0559> not in their hearts <H3824> [that] I remember <H2142> all their wickedness: <H7451> now their own doings <H4611> have beset them about; <H5437> they are before my face. <H6440>
3
They make the king <H4428> glad <H8055> with their wickedness, <H7451> and the princes <H8269> with their lies. <H3585>
4
They [are] all adulterers, <H5003> as an oven <H8574> heated <H1197> by the baker, <H0644> [who] ceaseth <H7673> from raising <H5782> after he hath kneaded <H3888> the dough, <H1217> until it be leavened. <H2556>
5
In the day <H3117> of our king <H4428> the princes <H8269> have made [him] sick <H2470> with bottles <H2534> of wine; <H3196> he stretched out <H4900> his hand <H3027> with scorners. <H3945>
6
For they have made ready <H7126> their heart <H3820> like an oven, <H8574> whiles they lie in wait: <H0693> their baker <H0644> sleepeth <H3463> all the night; <H3915> in the morning <H1242> it burneth <H1197> as a flaming <H3852> fire. <H0784>
7
They are all hot <H2552> as an oven, <H8574> and have devoured <H0398> their judges; <H8199> all their kings <H4428> are fallen: <H5307> [there is] none among them that calleth <H7121> unto me.
8
Ephraim, <H0669> he hath mixed <H1101> himself among the people; <H5971> Ephraim <H0669> is a cake <H5692> not turned. <H2015>
9
Strangers <H2114> have devoured <H0398> his strength, <H3581> and he knoweth <H3045> [it] not: yea, grey hairs <H7872> are here and there <H2236> upon him, yet he knoweth <H3045> not.
10
And the pride <H1347> of Israel <H3478> testifieth <H6030> to his face: <H6440> and they do not return <H7725> to the LORD <H3068> their God, <H0430> nor seek <H1245> him for all this.
11
Ephraim <H0669> also is like a silly <H6601> dove <H3123> without heart: <H3820> they call <H7121> to Egypt, <H4714> they go <H1980> to Assyria. <H0804>
12
When they shall go, <H3212> I will spread <H6566> my net <H7568> upon them; I will bring them down <H3381> as the fowls <H5775> of the heaven; <H8064> I will chastise <H3256> them, as their congregation <H5712> hath heard. <H8088>
13
Woe <H0188> unto them! for they have fled <H5074> from me: destruction <H7701> unto them! because they have transgressed <H6586> against me: though I have redeemed <H6299> them, yet they have spoken <H1696> lies <H3577> against me.
14
And they have not cried <H2199> unto me with their heart, <H3820> when they howled <H3213> upon their beds: <H4904> they assemble <H1481> themselves for corn <H1715> and wine, <H8492> [and] they rebel <H5493> against me.
15
Though I have bound <H3256> [and] strengthened <H2388> their arms, <H2220> yet do they imagine <H2803> mischief <H7451> against me.
16
They return, <H7725> [but] not to the most High: <H5920> they are like a deceitful <H7423> bow: <H7198> their princes <H8269> shall fall <H5307> by the sword <H2719> for the rage <H2195> of their tongue: <H3956> this <H2097> [shall be] their derision <H3933> in the land <H0776> of Egypt. <H4714>
