0 1 A reproofe of manifold sinnes. 11 Gods wrath against them for their hypocrisie. VII ¶ [fn][fn]When I would haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they commit falsehood: and the thiefe commeth in, and the troupe of robbers spoileth without. 2 [fn]And they consider not in their hearts that I remember al their wickednesse: now their owne doings haue beset them about, they are before my face. 3 They make the king glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies. 4 [fn][fn]They are al adulterers, as an ouen heated by the baker: who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, vntill it be leauened. 5 [fn]In the day of our King, the princes haue made him sicke with bottels of wine, he stretched out his hand with scorners. 6 [fn]For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. 7 They are all hot as an ouen, and haue deuoured their Iudges; all their Kings are fallen, there is none among them that calleth vnto me. 8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himselfe among the people, Ephraim is a cake not turned. 9 [fn]Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and hee knoweth it not: yea, gray haires are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not. 10 [fn]And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the LORD their God, nor seeke him for all this. 11 ¶ Ephraim also is like a silly doue, without heart: they call to Egypt; they goe to Assyria. 12 When they shall goe, I wil spread my net vpon them, I will bring them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastise them as their congregation hath heard. 13 [fn]Woe vnto them, for they haue fled from me: destruction vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me, though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lies against me. 14 And they haue not cryed vnto me with their heart, when they howled vpon their beds: they assemble themselues for corne and wine, and they rebell against me. 15 [fn]Though I haue bound, and strengthened their armes, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me. 16 [fn]They returne, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitfull bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
