When I would have healedH7495 IsraelH3478, then the iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 was discoveredH1540, and the wickednessH7451 of SamariaH8111: for they commitH6466 falsehoodH8267; and the thiefH1590 cometh inH935, and the troopH1416 of robbers spoilethH6584 withoutH2351. {wickedness: Heb. evils} {spoileth: Heb. strippeth}
And they considerH559 not in their heartsH3824 that I rememberH2142 all their wickednessH7451: now their own doingsH4611 have beset them aboutH5437; they are before my faceH6440. {consider…: Heb. say not to}
They make the kingH4428 gladH8055 with their wickednessH7451, and the princesH8269 with their liesH3585.
They are all adulterersH5003, as an ovenH8574 heatedH1197 by the bakerH644, who ceasethH7673 from raisingH5782 after he hath kneadedH3888 the doughH1217, until it be leavenedH2556. {who…: or, the raiser will cease} {raising: or, waking}
In the dayH3117 of our kingH4428 the princesH8269 have made him sickH2470 with bottlesH2534 of wineH3196; he stretched outH4900 his handH3027 with scornersH3945. {bottles…: or, heat through wine}
For they have made readyH7126 their heartH3820 like an ovenH8574, whiles they lie in waitH693: their bakerH644 sleepethH3463 all the nightH3915; in the morningH1242 it burnethH1197 as a flamingH3852 fireH784. {made…: or, applied}
They are all hotH2552 as an ovenH8574, and have devouredH398 their judgesH8199; all their kingsH4428 are fallenH5307: there is none among them that callethH7121 unto me.
EphraimH669, he hath mixedH1101 himself among the peopleH5971; EphraimH669 is a cakeH5692 not turnedH2015.
StrangersH2114 have devouredH398 his strengthH3581, and he knowethH3045 it not: yea, gray hairsH7872 are here and thereH2236 upon him, yet he knowethH3045 not. {here…: Heb. sprinkled}
And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 testifiethH6030 to his faceH6440: and they do not returnH7725 to the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor seekH1245 him for all this.
EphraimH669 also is like a sillyH6601 doveH3123 without heartH3820: they callH7121 to EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to AssyriaH804.
When they shall goH3212, I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon them; I will bring them downH3381 as the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064; I will chastiseH3256 them, as their congregationH5712 hath heardH8088.
WoeH188 unto them! for they have fledH5074 from me: destructionH7701 unto them! because they have transgressedH6586 against me: though I have redeemedH6299 them, yet they have spokenH1696 liesH3577 against me. {destruction: Heb. spoil}
And they have not criedH2199 unto me with their heartH3820, when they howledH3213 upon their bedsH4904: they assembleH1481 themselves for cornH1715 and wineH8492, and they rebelH5493 against me.
Though I have boundH3256 and strengthenedH2388 their armsH2220, yet do they imagineH2803 mischiefH7451 against me. {have…: or, chastened}
They returnH7725, but not to the most HighH5920: they are like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198: their princesH8269 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 for the rageH2195 of their tongueH3956: thisH2097 shall be their derisionH3933 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgmentH4941, because he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandmentH6673.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall I goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for the LordH136 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the messengerH4397 that was goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 unto the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 that which is goodH2896.
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
Oh thatH5414 I had in the wildernessH4057 a lodging placeH4411 of wayfaring menH732; that I might leaveH5800 my peopleH5971, and goH3212 from them! for they be all adulterersH5003, an assemblyH6116 of treacherous menH898.
And it came to pass the same yearH8141, in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, and in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, that HananiahH2608 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809 the prophetH5030, which was of GibeonH1391, spakeH559 unto me in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548 and of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Within two fullH3117 yearsH8141 will I bring againH7725 into this placeH4725 all the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 took awayH3947 from this placeH4725, and carriedH935 them to BabylonH894: {two…: Heb. two years of days}
And I will bring againH7725 to this placeH4725 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, with all the captivesH1546 of JudahH3063, that wentH935 into BabylonH894, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. {captives: Heb. captivity}
Where are nowH346 your prophetsH5030 which prophesiedH5012 unto you, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall not comeH935 against you, nor against this landH776?
Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of BethelH1008 sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194 against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bearH3557 all his wordsH1697.
For thus AmosH5986 saithH559, JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 be led away captiveH1540 out of their own landH127.
Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, goH3212, flee thee awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there:
But prophesyH5012 not againH3254 any more at BethelH1008: for it is the king'sH4428 chapelH4720, and it is the king'sH4467 courtH1004. {chapel: or, sanctuary} {king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom}
For the statutesH2708 of OmriH6018 are keptH8104, and all the worksH4639 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and ye walkH3212 in their counselsH4156; that I should makeH5414 thee a desolationH8047, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof an hissingH8322: therefore ye shall bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my peopleH5971. {For the…: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}
That they may do evilH7451 with both handsH3709 earnestlyH3190, the princeH8269 askethH7592, and the judgeH8199 asketh for a rewardH7966; and the greatH1419 man, he utterethH1696 his mischievousH1942 desireH5315: so they wrap it upH5686. {his…: Heb. the mischief of his soul}
