Berean Standard Bible
When I would
heal Israel, then
is
the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered
, and
the wickedness
of Samaria ;
for they commit
falsehood,
and the
thief
entereth
in ,
and
the troop
of
robbers
ravageth
without
.
When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will
be
exposed
, as
well
as
the crimes
of Samaria .
For they practice
deceit
and thieves
break
in ;
bandits
raid
in
the streets
.
And
they consider not
in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness:
now have
their own
doings
beset
them about
; they are before my face.
But
they fail
to
consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil.
Now their deeds
are
all
around
them; they are before My face.
They make
the king glad
with their wickedness
, and the princes with their lies.
They delight
the king with their evil
, and the princes with their lies.
They are all adulterers ;
they
are
as
an oven heated by the
baker ;
he
ceaseth
to
stir
`
the fire ',
from the kneading of the dough ,
until
it
be
leavened
.
They are all adulterers ,
like
an oven heated by a
baker who
needs
not
stoke
the fire from the kneading to
the
rising
of the dough.
On the day of our king the
princes
made
themselves
sick
with
the
heat
of
wine
; he stretched
out
his
hand
with scoffers
.
The
princes
are
inflamed
with
wine
on the day of our king; so
he joins
hands
with those
who
mock
him
.
For they have
made
ready
their heart like an oven ,
while they lie in wait :
their
baker
sleepeth
all the
night; in the morning it burneth
as
a flaming fire.
For they prepare
their heart like an oven while they lie in wait ;
all night their
anger
smolders
; in the morning it blazes
like
a flaming fire.
They
are
all hot as an oven, and devour their judges;
all their kings are
fallen:
there
is
none
among
them that
calleth
unto
me.
All of
them
are
hot as an oven, and they
devour their rulers.
All their kings fall;
not
one
of
them calls
upon
Me.
Ephraim ,
he
mixeth
himself
among
the peoples
; Ephraim is a
cake not
turned
.
Ephraim mixes
with
the nations
; Ephraim is an
unturned
cake.
Strangers
have
devoured
his strength, and
he knoweth
`it'
not :
yea,
gray hairs
are
here
and
there
upon
him
, and
he knoweth
`it'
not.
Foreigners
consume
his strength, but
he does
not notice.
Even
his
hair
is
streaked
with
gray, but
he does
not know
.
And
the
pride
of
Israel
doth
testify
to
his
face:
yet they have
not returned
unto
Jehovah
their God ,
nor
sought
him,
for
all this.
Israel’s
arrogance
testifies
against
them,
yet they do
not return
to
the
LORD
their God ;
despite
all this ,
they
do
not
seek
Him
.
And
Ephraim is
like a silly dove
, without
understanding:
they
call
unto
Egypt, they
go
to Assyria.
So
Ephraim has
become
like a silly, senseless
dove—
calling
out
to
Egypt, then
turning
to Assyria.
When
they shall
go, I will spread my net upon
them; I will bring them down as
the
birds of the heavens;
I will chastise them ,
as
their
congregation
hath
heard
.
As
they go, I will spread My net over
them; I will bring them down like
birds of the air.
I will chastise them when
I
hear
them
flocking
together
.
Woe unto
them !
for they have wandered
from me ;
destruction unto
them !
for they have trespassed
against me :
though I would redeem them, yet
they have
spoken
lies against me.
Woe to
them ,
for they have strayed
from Me !
Destruction to
them ,
for they have rebelled
against Me !
Though I would redeem them, they speak
lies against Me.
And
they have
not cried
unto
me with
their heart,
but
they howl
upon their beds :
they assemble
themselves for grain and new wine ;
they
rebel
against
me.
They do
not cry
out
to
Me from
their hearts
when
they wail
upon their beds .
They slash
themselves for grain and new wine ,
but
turn
away
from
Me.
Though
I have
taught
and strengthened their arms, yet
do
they devise
mischief
against me.
Although
I trained
and strengthened their arms, they plot
evil
against Me.
They return
, but not to `him
that
is'
on
high; they are like a deceitful
bow ;
their princes
shall
fall by the sword for the rage
of their tongue :
this shall
be their
derision
in the land of Egypt.
They turn
, but not to the
Most
High; they are like a faulty
bow .
Their leaders
will
fall by the sword for the cursing
of their tongue ;
for
this they
will
be ridiculed
in the land of Egypt.
