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.

By swearingH422, and lyingH3584, and killingH7523, and stealingH1589, and committing adulteryH5003, they break outH6555, and bloodH1818 touchethH5060 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}

My peopleH5971 askH7592 counsel at their stocksH6086, and their staffH4731 declarethH5046 unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 hath caused them to errH8582, and they have gone a whoringH2181 from under their GodH430.
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.
HowH335 shall I pardonH5545 thee for thisH2063? thy childrenH1121 have forsakenH5800 me, and swornH7650 by them that are noH3808 godsH430: when I had fed them to the fullH7650, they then committed adulteryH5003, and assembled themselves by troopsH1413 in the harlots'H2181 housesH1004.
They were as fedH2109 horsesH5483 in the morningH7904: every oneH376 neighedH6670 after his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802.
