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