1. Ephraim’s Iniquity

2. 1ENGOJBwhen I would have healed Yisroel, then the avon (iniquity) of Ephrayim was exposed, and the ra'ot (crimes) of Shomron; for they practice sheker; and the ganav intrudes, and the bandit robs bachutz (in the street).BSBBSB: When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.
3. 2ENGOJBAnd they consider not in their levavot that I remember all their ra'ah; now their own evil doings surround them; they are before My face.BSBBSB: But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.
4. 3ENGOJBThey make the Melech glad with their ra'ah, and the sarim (princes) with their lies.BSBBSB: They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.
5. 4ENGOJBThey are all no'afim (adulterers), as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth stirring from the kneading of the batzek (dough), until its chametz leavening rises.BSBBSB: They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.
6. 5ENGOJBIn the Yom Malkeinu the sarim (princes) have made him sick with the heat of yayin; he has stretched out his hand with the letzim (mockers).BSBBSB: The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.
7. 6ENGOJBFor they have made ready their lev like an oven, while they lie in wait; their anger smolders kol halailah; in the boker it burneth like an eish of flame.BSBBSB: For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
8. 7ENGOJBThey are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their shofetim; all their melachim are fallen; there is none among them that calleth unto Me.BSBBSB: All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.
9. 8ENGOJBEphrayim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephrayim is a flat cake not turned over.BSBBSB: Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.
10. 9ENGOJBZarim have devoured his ko'ach, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, yet he hath no da'as.BSBBSB: Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
11. 10ENGOJBAnd the ga'on Yisroel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Hashem Eloheihem, nor seek Him for all this.BSBBSB: Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
12. 11ENGOJBEphrayim also is like an easily deceived yonah without sense; they call to Mitzrayim, they turn to Assyria.BSBBSB: So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove—calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
13. 12ENGOJBWhen 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.BSBBSB: As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
14. 13ENGOJBWoe unto them! For they have strayed from Me. Sod (destruction) unto them because they have committed pesha against Me! Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken kazav (lies) against Me.BSBBSB: Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.
15. 14ENGOJBAnd 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.BSBBSB: They do not cry out to Me from their hearts when they wail upon their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.
16. 15ENGOJBThough I have trained and strengthened their zero'ot (arms), yet do they plot rah against Me.BSBBSB: Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.
17. 16ENGOJBThey 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.BSBBSB: They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
