- Kapitel 7 -

1
When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they haue dealt falsly: and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
2
And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickednes: now their owne inuentions haue beset them about: they are in my sight.
3
They make the King glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
4
They are all adulterers, and as a very ouen heated by ye baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from kneading ye dough vntill it be leauened.
5
This is the day of our King: the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of wine: he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
6
For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in waite: their baker sleepeth all the night: in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
7
They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their iudges: all their Kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth vnto me.
8
Ephraim hath mixt himselfe among the people. Ephraim is as a cake on the hearth not turned.
9
Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray heares are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.
10
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 doue deceiued, without heart: they call to Egypt: they go to Asshur.
12
But when they shall go, I will spred my net vpon them, and drawe them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
13
Wo vnto them: for they haue fled away from me: destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me: though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lyes against me.
14
And they haue not cryed vnto me with their hearts, when they houled vpon their beds: they assembled themselues for corne, and wine, and they rebell against me.
15
Though I haue boud and strengthened their arme, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.
16
They returne, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitfull bowe: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
1
When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
2
They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
3
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4
They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
6
For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smolders all night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
8
Ephraim mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
9
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn’t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realize it.
10
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven’t returned to the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11
“Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
12
When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
13
Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14
They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
15
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
16
They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
