1 When I would have healed 7495 Israel 3478, then the iniquity 5771 of Ephraim 669 was discovered 1540, and the wickedness 7451 of Samaria 8111: for they commit 6466 falsehood 8267; and the thief 1590 cometh in 935, and the troop 1416 of robbers spoileth 6584 without 2351.
2 And they consider 559 not in their hearts 3824 that I remember 2142 all their wickedness 7451: now their own doings 4611 have beset them about 5437; they are before my face 6440.
3 They make the king 4428 glad 8055 with their wickedness 7451, and the princes 8269 with their lies 3585.
4 They are all adulterers 5003, as an oven 8574 heated 1197 by the baker 644, who ceaseth 7673 from raising 5782 after he hath kneaded 3888 the dough 1217, until it be leavened 2556.
5 In the day 3117 of our king 4428 the princes 8269 have made him sick 2470 with bottles 2534 of wine 3196; he stretched out 4900 his hand 3027 with scorners 3945.
6 For they have made ready 7126 their heart 3820 like an oven 8574, whiles they lie in wait 693: their baker 644 sleepeth 3463 all the night 3915; in the morning 1242 it burneth 1197 as a flaming 3852 fire 784.
7 They are all hot 2552 as an oven 8574, and have devoured 398 their judges 8199; all their kings 4428 are fallen 5307: there is none among them that calleth 7121 unto me.
8 Ephraim 669, he hath mixed 1101 himself among the people 5971; Ephraim 669 is a cake 5692 not turned 2015.
9 Strangers 2114 have devoured 398 his strength 3581, and he knoweth 3045 it not: yea, gray hairs 7872 are here and there 2236 upon him, yet he knoweth 3045 not.
10 And the pride 1347 of Israel 3478 testifieth 6030 to his face 6440: and they do not return 7725 to the LORD 3068 their God 430, nor seek 1245 him for all this.
11 Ephraim 669 also is like a silly 6601 dove 3123 without heart 3820: they call 7121 to Egypt 4714, they go 1980 to Assyria 804.
12 When they shall go 3212, I will spread 6566 my net 7568 upon them; I will bring them down 3381 as the fowls 5775 of the heaven 8064; I will chastise 3256 them, as their congregation 5712 hath heard 8088.
13 Woe 188 unto them! for they have fled 5074 from me: destruction 7701 unto them! because they have transgressed 6586 against me: though I have redeemed 6299 them, yet they have spoken 1696 lies 3577 against me.
14 And they have not cried 2199 unto me with their heart 3820, when they howled 3213 upon their beds 4904: they assemble 1481 themselves for corn 1715 and wine 8492, and they rebel 5493 against me.
15 Though I have bound 3256 and strengthened 2388 their arms 2220, yet do they imagine 2803 mischief 7451 against me.
16 They return 7725, but not to the most High 5920: they are like a deceitful 7423 bow 7198: their princes 8269 shall fall 5307 by the sword 2719 for the rage 2195 of their tongue 3956: this 2097 shall be their derision 3933 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
