Ephraim’s Iniquity
When I would heal Israel,
The iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they deal falsely;
The thief enters in,
Bandits raid outside,
When I would heal Israel,
The iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they deal falsely;
The thief enters in,
Bandits raid outside,
And they do not consider in their hearts
That I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds are all around them;
They are before My face.
That I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds are all around them;
They are before My face.
With their wickedness they make the king glad,
And the princes with their lies.

They make a king glad with their wickedness,
And princes with their lies.
And princes with their lies.
They are all adulterers,
Like an oven heated by the baker
Who ceases to stir up the fire
From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

Like an oven heated by a baker —
He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough,
Until it is leavened.

On the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers,
He stretched out his hand with scoffers,
For their hearts are like an oven
As they approach their plotting;
Their anger smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
As they approach their plotting;
Their anger smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
All of them are hot like an oven,
And they consume their rulers;
All their kings have fallen.
None of them calls on Me.

All their kings have fallen.
None among them calls upon Me.

Yet he does not know it;
Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him,
Yet he does not know it.

Yet they have not returned to the LORD their God,
Nor have they sought Him, for all this.

And they do not cry to Me from their heart
When they wail on their beds;
For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves,
They turn away from Me.

Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me.

Yet they devise evil against Me;

Because of the insolence of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
