1. When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, even a robber Lit. stripping spoiling in his way;
|
1. When I would have healed H7495 Israel H3478 , then the iniquity H5771 of Ephraim H669 was discovered H1540 , and the wickedness H7451 of Samaria H8111 : for H3588 they commit H6466 falsehood H8267 ; and the thief H1590 cometh in H935 , and the troop of robbers H1416 spoileth H6584 without H2351 .
|
|
2. that they may concert together as men singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
|
2. And they consider H559 not H1077 in their hearts H3824 that I remember H2142 all H3605 their wickedness H7451 : now H6258 their own doings H4611 have beset them about H5437 ; they are H1961 before H5048 my face H6440 .
|
|
3. They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
|
3. They make the king glad H8055 H4428 with their wickedness H7451 , and the princes H8269 with their lies H3585 .
|
|
4. They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the Compl. zumhv, leaven dough, until it is leavened.
|
4. They are all H3605 adulterers H5003 , as H3644 an oven H8574 heated H1197 by H4480 the baker H644 , who ceaseth H7673 from raising H4480 H5782 after he hath kneaded H4480 H3888 the dough H1217 , until H5704 it be leavened H2556 .
|
|

|
5. In the day H3117 of our king H4428 the princes H8269 have made him sick H2470 with bottles H2534 of wine H4480 H3196 ; he stretched out H4900 his hand H3027 with H854 scorners H3945 .
|
|
6. Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
|
6. For H3588 they have made ready H7126 their heart H3820 like an oven H8574 , while they lie in wait H693 : their baker H644 sleepeth H3463 all H3605 the night H3915 ; in the morning H1242 it H1931 burneth H1197 as a flaming H3852 fire H784 .
|
|
7. They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
|
7. They are all hot H2552 H3605 as an oven H8574 , and have devoured H398 H853 their judges H8199 ; all H3605 their kings H4428 are fallen H5307 : there is none H369 among them that calleth H7121 unto H413 me.

|
8. Ephraim H669 , he H1931 hath mixed himself H1101 among the people H5971 ; Ephraim H669 is H1961 a cake H5692 not H1097 turned H2015 .
|
|
9. Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew it not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew it not.
|
9. Strangers H2114 have devoured H398 his strength H3581 , and he H1931 knoweth H3045 it not H3808 : yea H1571 , gray hairs H7872 are here and there H2236 upon him , yet he H1931 knoweth H3045 not H3808 .
|
|
10. And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
|
10. And the pride H1347 of Israel H3478 testifieth H6030 to his face H6440 : and they do not H3808 return H7725 to H413 the LORD H3068 their God H430 , nor H3808 seek H1245 him for all H3605 this H2063 .
|
|
11. And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
|
11. Ephraim H669 also is H1961 like a silly H6601 dove H3123 without H369 heart H3820 : they call H7121 to Egypt H4714 , they go H1980 to Assyria H804 .
|
|
12. Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their coming affliction.
|
12. When H834 they shall go H1980 , I will spread H6566 my net H7568 upon H5921 them ; I will bring them down H3381 as the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 ; I will chastise H3256 them , as their congregation H5712 hath heard H8088 .
|
|
13. Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
|
13. Woe H188 unto them! for H3588 they have fled H5074 from H4480 me: destruction H7701 unto them! because H3588 they have transgressed H6586 against me : though I H595 have redeemed H6299 them , yet they H1992 have spoken H1696 lies H3577 against H5921 me.
|
|
14. And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they Gr. cut themselves pined for oil and wine.
|
14. And they have not H3808 cried H2199 unto H413 me with their heart H3820 , when H3588 they howled H3213 upon H5921 their beds H4904 : they assemble themselves H1481 for H5921 corn H1715 and wine H8492 , and they rebel H5493 against me.
|
|
15. They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
|
15. Though I H589 have bound H3256 and strengthened H2388 their arms H2220 , yet do they imagine H2803 mischief H7451 against H413 me.
|
|
16. They turned aside to Gr. nothing that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
|
16. They return H7725 , but not H3808 to the most High H5920 : they are H1961 like a deceitful H7423 bow H7198 : their princes H8269 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 for the rage H4480 H2195 of their tongue H3956 : this H2097 shall be their derision H3933 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
