1 “When I give healing to Israel, || Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, || And the wickedness of Samaria, || For they have worked falsehood, || And a thief comes in, || A troop has stripped off in the street, 2 And they do not say to their heart, || [That] I have remembered all their evil, || Now their doings have surrounded them, || They have been before My face. 3 With their wickedness they make a king glad, || And with their lies—princes. 4 All of them [are] adulterers, || Like a burning oven of a baker, || He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening. 5 A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, || He has drawn out his hand with scorners. 6 For they have drawn near, || Their heart [is] as an oven || In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, || Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire. 7 All of them are warm as an oven, || And they have devoured their judges, || All their kings have fallen, || There is none calling to Me among them.
