1
When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of for they haue dealt and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
2
And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their now their owne inuentions haue beset them 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 the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
6
For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in their baker sleepeth all the in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
7
They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their all their Kings are 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 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 they call to 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 I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
13
Wo vnto for they haue fled away from destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against 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 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 they are like a deceitfull their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
