1 “When I would have healed Israel,
Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
And the wickedness of Samaria.
For athey have committed fraud;
A thief comes in;
A band of robbers1 takes spoil outside.
Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
And the wickedness of Samaria.
For athey have committed fraud;
A thief comes in;
A band of robbers1 takes spoil outside.
2 They1 do not consider in their hearts
That aI remember all their wickedness;
Now their own deeds have surrounded them;
They are before My face.
That aI remember all their wickedness;
Now their own deeds have surrounded them;
They are before My face.
4 “Theya are all adulterers.
Like an oven heated by a baker—
He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough,
Until it is leavened.

Until it is leavened.
5 In the day of our king
Princes have made him sick,1 inflamed with awine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
Princes have made him sick,1 inflamed with awine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
6 They prepare their heart like an oven,
While they lie in wait;
1Their baker sleeps all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
While they lie in wait;
1Their baker sleeps all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
