Chapter 7

1


 

  When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.  

 

 

--

2


 

  And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.  

 

 

--

3


 

  They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.  

 

 

--

4


 

  They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.  

 

 

--

5


 

  In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire.  

 

 

--

7


 

  They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.  

 

 

--

10


 

  And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek him for all this.  

 

 

--

11


 

  And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.  

 

 

--

12


 

  When they go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowl of the heavens; I will chastise them, according as their assembly hath heard.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against me. And I would redeem them; but they speak lies against me.  

 

 

--

14


 

  And they cried not unto me in their heart, when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and new wine; they have turned aside from me.  

 

 

--

15


 

  I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but they imagine mischief against me.  

 

 

--

16


 

  They return, [but] not to the [Most] High: they are like a deceitful bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
