1. when I heal Israel, the sins of Ephraim and the crimes of Samaria will be exposed.For they practice fraud; a thief breaks in;a raiding party pillages outside.
2. But they never consider that I remember all their evil. Now their sins are all around them; they are right in front of My face.
3. They please the king with their evil, the princes with their lies.
4. All of them commit adultery; they are like an oven heated by a bakerwho stops stirring the firefrom the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5. On the day of our king,the princes are sick with the heat of wine —there is a conspiracy with traitors.
