1 When I would heal Israel, 2 They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. 3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, 4 They are all adulterers. 5 On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. 6 For they have prepared their heart like an oven, 7 They are all hot as an oven, 8 Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. 9 Strangers have devoured his strength, 10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; 11 “Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. 12 When they go, I will spread my net on them. 13 Woe to them! 14 They haven’t cried to me with their heart, 15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, 16 They return, but not to the Most High.
