7"When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, And the wickedness of Samaria. For they have committed fraud; A thief comes in; A band of robbers takes spoil outside.H7495H3478H5771H669H1540H7451H8111H6466H8267H1590H935H1416H6584H23512They do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness; Now their own deeds have surrounded them; They are before My face.H559H3824H2142H7451H4611H5437H64403They make a king glad with their wickedness, And princes with their lies.H4428H8055H7451H8269H35854"They are all adulterers. Like an oven heated by a baker—He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough, Until it is leavened.H5003H8574H1197H644H7673H5782H3888H1217H25565In the day of our king Princes have made him sick, inflamed with wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers.H3117H4428H8269H2470H2534H3196H4900H3027H39456They prepare their heart like an oven, While they lie in wait; Their baker sleeps all night; In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.H7126H3820H8574H693H644H3463H3915H1242H1197H3852H7847They are all hot, like an oven, And have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. None among them calls upon Me.H2552H8574H398H8199H4428H5307H71218"Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned.H669H1101H5971H669H5692H20159Aliens have devoured his strength, But he does not know it; Yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, Yet he does not know it.H2114H398H3581H3045H7872H2236H304510And the pride of Israel testifies to his face, But they do not return to the LORD their God, Nor seek Him for all this.H1347H3478H6030H6440H7725H3068H430H1245
Futile Reliance on the Nations
11"Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense—They call to Egypt, They go to Assyria.H669H6601H3123H3820H7121H4714H1980H80412Wherever they go, I will spread My net on them; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them According to what their congregation has heard.H3212H6566H7568H3381H5775H8064H3256H5712H808813"Woe to them, for they have fled from Me! Destruction to them, Because they have transgressed against Me! Though I redeemed them, Yet they have spoken lies against Me.H188H5074H7701H6586H6299H1696H357714They did not cry out to Me with their heart When they wailed upon their beds. "They assemble together for grain and new wine, They rebel against Me;H2199H3820H3213H4904H1481H1715H8492H549315Though I disciplined and strengthened their arms, Yet they devise evil against Me;H3256H2388H2220H2803H745116They return, but not to the Most High; They are like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword For the cursings of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.H7725H5920H7423H7198H8269H5307H2719H2195H3956H2097H3933H776H4714
