International Standard Version

1when I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim and the crimes of Samaria will be exposed. For they practice fraud; a thief breaks in; a raiding party pillages outside.

1"When I was healing Israel, Ephraim's sin was uncovered, along with Samaria's wickedness. While they craft lying schemes, the thief invades, and the gang of thieves plunders outside.

2But they never consider that I remember all their evil. Now their actions are all around them; they are right in front of my face.

2It never occurs to them that I remember all their sin. Now their actions have caught up with them, and they have my attention.

3They please the king with their evil, the princes with their lies.

3They please the king with their evil, and the princes with their dishonesty.

4All of them commit adultery; they are like an oven heated by a baker who stops stirring the fire from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

4All of them are adulterers— they burn like an oven prepared by the baker, who has ceased stoking it until the dough is leavened.

5On the day of our king, the princes are sick with the heat of wine--there is a conspiracy with traitors.

5"On the king's festival day the princes got drunk from wine, so the king joined the mockers.

6For they--their hearts like an oven--draw him into their oven. Their anger smolders all night; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

6For they have stirred up themselves like an oven as they lie in ambush. Their baker sleeps through the night; in the morning, the oven will be blazing like a fire.

7All of them are as hot as an oven, and they consume their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls on me.

7They all burn like an oven; they have consumed their judges; all their kings have fallen— not even one of them calls on me.

8Ephraim has allowed himself to get mixed up with the nations. Ephraim is unturned bread baked on a griddle.

8"Ephraim compromises with the nations; he's a half-baked cake.

9Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not notice.

9Foreigners have consumed his strength, and he hasn't noticed. Furthermore, his head is sprinkled with gray hair, but he doesn't realize it.

10Israel's arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God, and for all this, they do not seek him.

10Israel's arrogance testifies against him; but they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him in all of this.

11So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove; they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.

11"Ephraim is also like a silly dove, lacking sense: They call out to Egypt, and turn toward Assyria.

12As they are going, I will spread my net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the sky. I will discipline them in accordance with the news that reaches their assembly.

12When they go, I'll cast my net over them. I'll bring them down, as one shoots birds in the sky. I'll chasten them, as the assembly has already heard.

13Woe to them, for they fled from me; destruction to them, for they rebelled against me! Though I want to redeem them, they speak lies against me.

13Woe to them— because they have run away from me. Ruin to them— because they have sinned against me. Even though I redeemed them, they spread lies against me.

14They do not cry to me from their hearts; rather, they wail on their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine; they turn away from me.

14They will not cry to me from their heart— instead, they wail on their beds. They gather together to eat and drink, turning away from me.

15I trained and strengthened their arms, but they plot evil against me.

15"Though I have taught them and strengthened their arms, nevertheless they plot evil against me.

16They turn, but not to what is above; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent tongue. They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.

16They return—but not to the Most High. They are like a defective weapon. Their princes will fall by the sword because of their raging tongue, and they will be a laughingstock in the land of Egypt."
