Chapter 7



 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own adoings have beset them about; they are before my face.






 Ephraim, he hath amixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a bcake not turned.


 10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not areturn to the Lord their God, nor bseek him for all this.

 11 ¶Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

 12 When they shall go, I will spread my anet upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

 13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: adestruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I bhave credeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

 14 And they have not acried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

 15 Though I have abound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

 16 They return, but not to the amost High: they are like a bdeceitful bow: their princes shall cfall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
