Revised Version 1895
Hosea 7:4-11
4They are allH3605 adulterersH5003; they are as an ovenH8574 heated by the bakerH644; he ceaseth to stirH5782 the fire, from the kneadingH3888 of the doughH1217 untilH5704 it be leavened.
5On the dayH3117 of our kingH4428 the princesH8269 made themselves sickH2470 with the heatH2534 of wineH3196; he stretchedH4900 outH4900 his handH3027 with scorners.
6For they have madeH3605 ready their heartH3820 like an ovenH8574, whiles they lieH693 in waitH693: their bakerH644 sleepeth allH3605 the nightH3915; in the morningH1242 it burneth as a flamingH3852 fireH784.
7They are allH3605 hotH2552 as an ovenH8574, and devourH398 their judgesH8199; allH3605 their kingsH4428 are fallenH5307: there is noneH369 among them that calleth unto meH413.
8EphraimH669, he mixeth himselfH1931 among the peoplesH5971; EphraimH669 is a cakeH5692 notH1961 turnedH2015.
9StrangersH2114 have devouredH398 his strengthH3581, and he knoweth it notH3808: yea, grayH7872 hairsH7872 are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it notH3808.
10And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: yet they have notH3808 returnedH7725 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430, norH3808 soughtH1245 him, for allH3605 this.
11And EphraimH669 is like a silly doveH3123, withoutH369 understandingH3820: they callH7121 unto EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to AssyriaH804.
