9 For they haue gone vp to Assyria and are as a wilde asse solitarie by him selfe: Ephraim hath hired louers. 10 And though they haue hired them among the heathen, yet nowe wyll I gather them, and they shall begyn to be weery with the burthen of the king and the prince. 11 Ephraim hath made many aulters to do wickednesse, his aulters I say he had to his sinne. 12 I haue written to them the great thinges of my lawe, but they are counted as a straunge thing. 13 They sacrifice fleshe for the sacrifice of mine offeringes, & eate it, but the Lord hath no pleasure in it: nowe wyll he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes, they shall returne into Egypt. 14 For Israel hath forgotten him that made him, & hath builded faire palaces, and Iuda hath encreased strong cities: but I wyll sende a fire into their cities, and it shall consume their palaces.
