CHAP. VII.
1 A reproofe of manifold sinnes. 11 Gods wrath against them for their hypocrisie.
1When I would haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they commit falsehood: and the thiefe commeth in, and the troupe of robbers spoileth without.1
2And they consider not in their hearts that I remember al their wickednesse: now their owne doings haue beset them about, they are before my face.2
3They make the king glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
4They are al adulterers, as an ouen heated by the baker: who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, vntill it be leauened.4
5In the day of our King, the princes haue made him sicke with bottels of wine, he stretched out his hand with scorners.5
6For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.6
8Ephraim, he hath mixed himselfe among the people, Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and hee knoweth it not: yea, gray haires are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.9
10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this.10
11ΒΆ Ephraim also is like a silly doue, without heart: they call to Egypt; they goe to Assyria.
13Woe vnto them, for they haue fled from me: destruction vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me, though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lies against me.13
15Though I haue bound, and strengthened their armes, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.15
16They returne, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitfull bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.16
