WHEN 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023078">2</a>. And 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023079">3</a>. They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023080">4</a>. They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneeded the dough, until it be leavened.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023081">5</a>. In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023082">6</a>. For 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023083">7</a>. They 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023084">8</a>. Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023085">9</a>. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023086">10</a>. And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023087">11</a>. Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023088">12</a>. When 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023089">13</a>. Woe 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023090">14</a>. And 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023091">15</a>. Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023092">16</a>. They 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.</li>
