7:1 When
I
would
heal
Israel,
the
iniquity
of
Ephraim
is
revealed,
and
the
evil
deeds
of
Samaria;
for
they
deal
falsely;
the
thief
breaks
in,
and
the
bandits
raid
outside.
7:2 But
they
do
not
consider
that
I
remember
all
their
evil.
Now
their
deeds
surround
them;
they
are
before
my
face.
7:3 By
their
evil
they
make
the
king
glad,
and
the
princes
by
their
treachery.
7:4 They
are
all
adulterers;
they
are
like
a
heated
oven
whose
baker
ceases
to
stir
the
fire,
from
the
kneading
of
the
dough
until
it
is
leavened.
7:5 On
the
day
of
our
king,
the
princes
became
sick
with
the
heat
of
wine;
he
stretched
out
his
hand
with
mockers.
7:6 For
with
hearts
like
an
oven
they
approach
their
intrigue;
all
night
their
anger
smolders;
in
the
morning
it
blazes
like
a
flaming
fire.
7:7 All
of
them
are
hot
as
an
oven,
and
they
devour
their
rulers.
All
their
kings
have
fallen,
and
none
of
them
calls
upon
me.
7:8 Ephraim
mixes
himself
with
the
peoples;
Ephraim
is
a
cake
not
turned.
7:9 Strangers
devour
his
strength,
and
he
knows
it
not;
gray
hairs
are
sprinkled
upon
him,
and
he
knows
it
not.
7:10 The
pride
of
Israel
testifies
to
his
face;
yet
they
do
not
return
to
the
LORD
their
God,
nor
seek
him,
for
all
this.
7:11 Ephraim
is
like
a
dove,
silly
and
without
sense,
calling
to
Egypt,
going
to
Assyria.
7:12 As
they
go,
I
will
spread
over
them
my
net;
I
will
bring
them
down
like
birds
of
the
heavens;
I
will
discipline
them
according
to
the
report
made
to
their
congregation.
7:13 Woe
to
them,
for
they
have
strayed
from
me!
Destruction
to
them,
for
they
have
rebelled
against
me!
I
would
redeem
them,
but
they
speak
lies
against
me.
7:14 They
do
not
cry
to
me
from
the
heart,
but
they
wail
upon
their
beds;
for
grain
and
wine
they
gash
themselves;
they
rebel
against
me.
7:15 Although
I
trained
and
strengthened
their
arms,
yet
they
devise
evil
against
me.
7:16 They
return,
but
not
upward;
they
are
like
a
treacherous
bow;
their
princes
shall
fall
by
the
sword
because
of
the
insolence
of
their
tongue.
This
shall
be
their
derision
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
