Hoshea 7:8-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. Ephrayim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephrayim is a flat cake not turned over.

9. Zarim have devoured his ko'ach, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, yet he hath no da'as.

10. And the ga'on Yisroel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Hashem Eloheihem, nor seek Him for all this.

11. Ephrayim also is like an easily deceived yonah without sense; they call to Mitzrayim, they turn to Assyria.

12. When they shall go, I will spread My reshet (net) upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of Shomayim; I will chastise them, when I hear them congregating.

13. Woe unto them! For they have strayed from Me. Sod (destruction) unto them because they have committed pesha against Me! Though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken kazav (lies) against Me.

14. And they have not cried unto Me with their levavot, when they wailed upon their beds; they congregate themselves for dagan and tirosh, and they depart from Me.

15. Though I have trained and strengthened their zero'ot (arms), yet do they plot rah against Me.

16. They return, but not to Most High; they are like a faulty keshet; their sarim (princes) shall fall by the cherev for the insolence of their leshon; this shall be their derision in Eretz Mitzrayim.
