1. When I was healing Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they worked deceit; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
2. And they do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness; now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
3. They make the king glad with their wickedness and the princes with their lies.
4. They are all adulterers as an oven heated by the baker who shall cease from waking after he has kneaded the dough until it is leavened.
5. In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with a wineskin; he stretched out his hand with the scorners.
6. For they have made ready their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; their baker sleeps all night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
