- When I would heal Israel,
then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside. - They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face. - They make the king glad with their wickedness,
and the princes with their lies. - They are all adulterers.
They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened. - On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine.
He joined his hand with mockers. - For they have prepared their heart like an oven,
while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire. - They are all hot as an oven,
and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me. - Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations.
Ephraim is a pancake not turned over. - Strangers have devoured his strength,
and he doesn’t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realize it. - The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
yet they haven’t returned to Yahweh their God, nor sought him, for all this. - “Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding.
They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria. - When they go, I will spread my net on them.
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard. - Woe to them!
For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me. - They haven’t cried to me with their heart,
but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me. - Though I have taught and strengthened their arms,
yet they plot evil against me. - They return, but not to the Most High.
They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
