Berean Standard Bible
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
.
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
.
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.
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
burning
like an oven that
the
baker stops
stirring,
From the kneading of the dough ,
until
it
is
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 joined
his
hand
with mockers
.
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
sleeps
all the
night .
In the morning it burns
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 have
fallen.
There
is
no
one among
them who
calls to
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
mixes himself
among
the nations .
Ephraim is a
pancake
not
turned
over
.
Ephraim mixes with
the nations ;
Ephraim is an
unturned
cake
.
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
.
Foreigners
consume
his strength, but
he does
not
notice
. Even
his
hair
is
streaked
with
gray, but
he does
not
know
.
The
pride
of
Israel
testifies to
his
face;
Yet they haven't
returned
to Yahweh
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
.
"
Ephraim is
like an
easily
deceived
dove
, without
understanding.
They
call
to Egypt .
They
go
to Assyria.
So
Ephraim has
become
like a
silly
, senseless
dove—
calling
out
to Egypt ,
then
turning
to Assyria.
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
.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
they plot evil against me.
Although
I trained
and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.
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.
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.
