New American Standard Bible 1995King James Bible
1When I would heal Israel, The iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, And the evil deeds of Samaria, For they deal falsely; The thief enters in, Bandits raid outside,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.
2And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are 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.
3With their wickedness they make the king glad, And the princes with their lies.3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4They are all adulterers, Like an oven heated by the baker Who ceases to stir up the fire From 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.
5On the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers,5In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6For their hearts are like an oven As they approach their plotting; Their anger smolders all night, In the morning it burns like a flaming 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.
7All of them are hot like an oven, And they consume their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls 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 mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.8Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9Strangers devour his strength, Yet he does not know it; Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him, Yet he does not know it.9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
10Though the pride of Israel testifies against him, Yet they have not returned to the LORD their God, Nor have they 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.
11So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.11Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12When they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them in accordance with the proclamation to their assembly.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 strayed from Me! Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies 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 they do not cry to Me from their heart When they wail on their beds; For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn away from Me.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.
15Although I trained and strengthened their arms, Yet they devise evil against Me.15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16They turn, but not upward, They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes will fall by the sword Because of the insolence of their tongue. This will be their derision 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.
