World English Bible Classic
[1] When I would heal Israel,
then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
also the wickedness of Samaria;
for they commit falsehood,
and the thief enters in,
and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
[2] They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their own deeds have engulfed them.
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.
They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring,
from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
[5] On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine.
He joined his hand with mockers.
[6] For they have prepared their heart like an oven,
while they lie in wait.
Their anger smolders all night.
In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
[7] They are all hot as an oven,
and devour their judges.
All their kings have fallen.
There is no one among them who calls to me.
[8] Ephraim mixes himself among the nations.
Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
[9] Strangers have devoured his strength,
and he doesn’t realize it.
Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him,
and he doesn’t realize it.
[10] The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
yet they haven’t returned to Yahweh their God,
nor sought him, for all this. [11] “Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding.
They call to Egypt.
They go to Assyria.
[12] When they go, I will spread my net on them.
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
[13] Woe to them!
For they have wandered from me.
Destruction to them!
For they have trespassed against me.
Though I would redeem them,
yet they have spoken lies against me.
[14] They haven’t cried to me with their heart,
but they howl on their beds.
They assemble themselves for grain and new wine.
They turn away from me.
[15] Though I have taught and strengthened their arms,
yet they plot evil against me.
[16] They return, but not to the Most High.
They are like a faulty bow.
Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
King James Version

A Half-baked Cake

[1] When I would have healed H7495 Israel, H3478 then the iniquity H5771 of Ephraim H669 was discovered, H1540 and the wickedness H7451§ of Samaria: H8111 for H3588 they commit H6466 falsehood; H8267 and the thief H1590 cometh in, H935 and the troop H1416 of robbers spoileth H6584§ without. H2351 [2] And they consider H559 not§ in their hearts H3824 that I remember H2142 all H3605 their wickedness: H7451 now H6258 their own doings H4611 have beset them about; H5437 they are before my face. H6440 [3] They make the king H4428 glad H8055 with their wickedness, H7451 and the princes H8269 with their lies. H3585 [4] They are all adulterers, H5003 as an oven H8574 heated H1197 by the baker, H644 who ceaseth H7673§ from raising H5782§ after he hath kneaded H3888 the dough, H1217 until H5704 it be leavened. H2556 [5] In the day H3117 of our king H4428 the princes H8269 have made him sick H2470 with bottles H2534 of wine; H3196§ he stretched out H4900 his hand H3027 with scorners. H3945 [6] For H3588 they have made ready H7126§ their heart H3820 like an oven, H8574 whiles they lie in wait: H693 their baker H644 sleepeth H3463 all H3605 the night; H3915 in the morning H1242 it burneth H1197 as a flaming H3852 fire. H784 [7] They are all hot H2552 as an oven, H8574 and have devoured H398 H853 their judges; H8199 all H3605 their kings H4428 are fallen: H5307 there is none among them that calleth H7121 unto me. [8] Ephraim, H669 he hath mixed H1101 himself among the people; H5971 Ephraim H669 is a cake H5692 not turned. H2015 [9] Strangers H2114 have devoured H398 his strength, H3581 and he knoweth H3045 it not: yea, gray hairs H7872 are here and there H2236§ upon him, yet he knoweth H3045 not. [10] And the pride H1347 of Israel H3478 testifieth H6030 to his face: H6440 and they do not return H7725 to the Lord H3068 their God, H430 nor seek H1245 him for all this. [11] Ephraim H669 also is like a silly H6601 dove H3123 without heart: H3820 they call H7121 to Egypt, H4714 they go H1980 to Assyria. H804 [12] When they shall go, H3212 I will spread H6566 my net H7568 upon H5921 them; I will bring them down H3381 as the fowls H5775 of the heaven; H8064 I will chastise H3256 them, as their congregation H5712 hath heard. H8088 [13] Woe H188 unto them! for they have fled H5074 from H4480 me: destruction H7701§ unto them! because they have transgressed H6586 against H5921 me: though I have redeemed H6299 them, yet they have spoken H1696 lies H3577 against me. [14] And they have not cried H2199 unto H413 me with their heart, H3820 when they howled H3213 upon H5921 their beds: H4904 they assemble H1481 themselves for corn H1715 and wine, H8492 and they rebel H5493 against me. [15] Though I have bound H3256§ and strengthened H2388 their arms, H2220 yet do they imagine H2803 mischief H7451 against me. [16] They return, H7725 but not to the most High: H5920 they are like a deceitful H7423 bow: H7198 their princes H8269 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 for the rage H2195 of their tongue: H3956 this H2097 shall be their derision H3933 in the land H776 of Egypt. H4714

[1] ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 ἰάσασθαί G2390 με G3165 τὸν G3588 Ισραηλ. G2474 Καὶ G2532 ἀποκαλυφθήσεται G601 ἡ G3588 ἀδικία G93 Εφραιμ G2187 καὶ G2532 ἡ G3588 κακία G2549 Σαμαρείας, G4540 ὅτι G3754 ἠργάσαντο G2038 ψευδῆ· G5571 καὶ G2532 κλέπτης G2812 πρὸς G4314 αὐτὸν G846 εἰσελεύσεται, G1525 ἐκδιδύσκων G1562 λῃστὴς G3027 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 ὁδῷ G3598 αὐτοῦ, G846 [2] ὅπως G3704 συνᾴδωσιν ὡς G5613 συνᾴδοντες τῇ G3588 καρδίᾳ G2588 αὐτῶν. G846 Πάσας G3956 τὰς G3588 κακίας G2549 αὐτῶν G846 ἐμνήσθην· G3415 νῦν G3568 ἐκύκλωσεν G2944 αὐτοὺς G846 τὰ G3588 διαβούλια αὐτῶν, G846 ἀπέναντι G561 τοῦ G3588 προσώπου G4383 μου G3450 ἐγένοντο. G1096 [3] Ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 κακίαις G2549 αὐτῶν G846 εὔφραναν G2165 βασιλεῖς G935 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 τοῖς G3588 ψεύδεσιν G5579 αὐτῶν G846 ἄρχοντας· G758 [4] πάντες G3956 μοιχεύοντες, G3431 ὡς G5613 κλίβανος G2823 καιόμενος G2545 εἰς G1519 πέψιν κατακαύματος ἀπὸ G575 τῆς G3588 φλογός, G5395 ἀπὸ G575 φυράσεως στέατος ἕως G2193 τοῦ G3588 ζυμωθῆναι G2220 αὐτό. G846 [5] Αἱ G3588 ἡμέραι G2250 τῶν G3588 βασιλέων G935 ὑμῶν, G5216 ἤρξαντο G757 οἱ G3588 ἄρχοντες G758 θυμοῦσθαι G2373 ἐξ G1537 οἴνου, G3631 ἐξέτεινεν G1614 τὴν G3588 χεῖρα G5495 αὐτοῦ G846 μετὰ G3326 λοιμῶν· G3061 [6] διότι G1360 ἀνεκαύθησαν ὡς G5613 κλίβανος G2823 αἱ G3588 καρδίαι G2588 αὐτῶν G846 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 καταράσσειν αὐτούς, G846 ὅλην G3650 τὴν G3588 νύκτα G3571 ὕπνου G5258 Εφραιμ G2187 ἐνεπλήσθη, G1705 πρωῒ G4404 ἐγενήθη G1096 ἀνεκαύθη ὡς G5613 πυρὸς G4442 φέγγος. G5338 [7] Πάντες G3956 ἐθερμάνθησαν G2328 ὡς G5613 κλίβανος G2823 καὶ G2532 κατέφαγον G2719 τοὺς G3588 κριτὰς G2923 αὐτῶν· G846 πάντες G3956 οἱ G3588 βασιλεῖς G935 αὐτῶν G846 ἔπεσαν, G4098 οὐκ G3756 ἦν G2258 ὁ G3588 ἐπικαλούμενος G1941 ἐν G1722 αὐτοῖς G846 πρός G4314 με. G3165 [8] Εφραιμ G2187 ἐν G1722 τοῖς G3588 λαοῖς G2992 αὐτοῦ G846 συνανεμείγνυτο, G4874 Εφραιμ G2187 ἐγένετο G1096 ἐγκρυφίας οὐ G3756 μεταστρεφόμενος. G3344 [9] Κατέφαγον G2719 ἀλλότριοι G245 τὴν G3588 ἰσχὺν G2479 αὐτοῦ, G846 αὐτὸς G846 δὲ G1161 οὐκ G3756 ἐπέγνω· G1921 καὶ G2532 πολιαὶ ἐξήνθησαν αὐτῷ, G846 καὶ G2532 αὐτὸς G846 οὐκ G3756 ἔγνω. G1097 [10] Καὶ G2532 ταπεινωθήσεται G5013 ἡ G3588 ὕβρις G5196 Ισραηλ G2474 εἰς G1519 πρόσωπον G4383 αὐτοῦ, G846 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἐπέστρεψαν G1994 πρὸς G4314 κύριον G2962 τὸν G3588 θεὸν G2316 αὐτῶν G846 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἐξεζήτησαν G1567 αὐτὸν G846 ἐν G1722 πᾶσι G3956 τούτοις. G5125 [11] Καὶ G2532 ἦν G2258 Εφραιμ G2187 ὡς G5613 περιστερὰ G4058 ἄνους οὐκ G3756 ἔχουσα G2192 καρδίαν· G2588 Αἴγυπτον G125 ἐπεκαλεῖτο G1941 καὶ G2532 εἰς G1519 Ἀσσυρίους ἐπορεύθησαν. G4198 [12] Καθὼς G2531 ἂν G302 πορεύωνται, G4198 ἐπιβαλῶ G1911 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτοὺς G846 τὸ G3588 δίκτυόν G1350 μου· G3450 καθὼς G2531 τὰ G3588 πετεινὰ τοῦ G3588 οὐρανοῦ G3772 κατάξω G2609 αὐτούς, G846 παιδεύσω G3811 αὐτοὺς G846 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 ἀκοῇ G189 τῆς G3588 θλίψεως G2347 αὐτῶν. G846 [13] Οὐαὶ G3759 αὐτοῖς, G846 ὅτι G3754 ἀπεπήδησαν ἀπ’ G575 ἐμοῦ· G1699 δείλαιοί εἰσιν, G1526 ὅτι G3754 ἠσέβησαν G764 εἰς G1519 ἐμέ· G1691 ἐγὼ G1473 δὲ G1161 ἐλυτρωσάμην G3084 αὐτούς, G846 αὐτοὶ G846 δὲ G1161 κατελάλησαν G2635 κατ’ G2596 ἐμοῦ G1699 ψεύδη. G5579 [14] Καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἐβόησαν G994 πρός G4314 με G3165 αἱ G3588 καρδίαι G2588 αὐτῶν, G846 ἀλλ’ G235 ἢ G2228 ὠλόλυζον G3649 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 κοίταις G2845 αὐτῶν· G846 ἐπὶ G1909 σίτῳ G4621 καὶ G2532 οἴνῳ G3631 κατετέμνοντο. Ἐπαιδεύθησαν G3811 ἐν G1722 ἐμοί, G1698 [15] κἀγὼ G2504 κατίσχυσα G2729 τοὺς G3588 βραχίονας G1023 αὐτῶν, G846 καὶ G2532 εἰς G1519 ἐμὲ G1691 ἐλογίσαντο G3049 πονηρά. G4190 [16] Ἀπεστράφησαν G654 εἰς G1519 οὐθέν, G3762 ἐγένοντο G1096 ὡς G5613 τόξον G5115 ἐντεταμένον· πεσοῦνται G4098 ἐν G1722 ῥομφαίᾳ G4501 οἱ G3588 ἄρχοντες G758 αὐτῶν G846 δι’ G1223 ἀπαιδευσίαν γλώσσης G1100 αὐτῶν· G846 οὗτος G3778 ὁ G3588 φαυλισμὸς αὐτῶν G846 ἐν G1722 γῇ G1093 Αἰγύπτῳ.
