5. On the day of our king, the princesbecame sick with the heat of wine;he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6. For with hearts like an oven they approach their intrigue;all night their anger smolders;in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7. All of them are hot as an oven,and they devour their rulers.All their kings have fallen,and none of them calls upon me.
8. Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9. Strangers devour his strength,and he knows it not;gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,and he knows it not.
10. The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the Lord their God,nor seek him, for all this.
11. Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense,calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
12. As they go, I will spread over them my net;I will bring them down like birds of the heavens; I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregation.
13. Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them,but they speak lies against me.
14. They do not cry to me from the heart,but they wail upon their beds;for grain and wine they gash themselves;they rebel against me.
