1 As I healed to Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the evils of Shomeron: for they did falsehood, and the thief will come in, and the troop invaded without. 2 And they will not say to their heart, I remembered all their evil: now their doings surrounded them; they were before my face. 3 By their evil they will gladden the king, and the chiefs by their falsehoods. 4 All of them committing adultery, as an oven set on fire from baking; he will cease from raising from kneading the dough till its leavening. 5 The day of our king the chiefs began anger from wine; stretching forth his hand with mockers. 6 For they drew near their heart as a furnace in their lying in wait: all the night their baker slept; in the morning it burnt as the fire of flame. 7 They were all hot as a furnace, and they consumed their judges; all their kings fell: none among them calling to me.
