1When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
1When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
2that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
2And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
3They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
4They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
5In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
6For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
7They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
8Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
10And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.
11And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
11Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumour of their [coming] affliction.
12When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
13Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
13Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14And their hearts did not cry to me , but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
14And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
16They return, but not to the most 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.
1[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.
1Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know thee.
2Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy .
3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
4They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
5Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; wherefore thy calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
6For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it .
7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel .
8Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
10Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11Because Ephraim has multiplied altars , [his] beloved altars are become sins to him .
11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things , [even] the beloved altars.
12I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13For if they should offer a sacrifice , and eat flesh, the Lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
13They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
