Ephraim's Iniquity

1 When I would have healed Israēl, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.

7:1 ἐν τῷ ἰάσασθαί με τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ ἀδικία Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἡ κακία Σαμαρείας, ὅτι ἠργάσαντο ψευδῆ·
καὶ κλέπτης πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσελεύσεται, ἐκδιδύσκων λῃστὴς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ, 		7:1 Καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ ἀδικία Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἡ κακία Σαμαρείας, ὅτι εἰργάσαντο ψευδῆ·
καὶ κλέπτης πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσελεύσεται, ἐκδιδύσκων λῃστὴς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ,
7:1 when I heal Israēl. And the injustice of Ephraim will be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria, because they have produced lies. And a thief will come in to him, a robber plundering in his way, 7:1 And the injustice of Ephraim will be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria, because they have produced lies. And a thief will come in to him, a robber plundering in his way,

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

7:2 ὅπως συνᾴδωσιν ὡς συνᾴδοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν.
πάσας τὰς κακίας αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθην·
νῦν ἐκύκλωσεν αὐτοὺς τὰ διαβούλια αὐτῶν, ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐγένοντο. 		7:2 ὅπως συνᾴδωσιν ὡς ᾄδοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν.
πάσας τὰς κακίας αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθην·
νῦν ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτοὺς τὰ διαβούλια αὐτῶν, ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐγένοντο.

3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

7:3 ἐν ταῖς κακίαις αὐτῶν εὔφραναν βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐν τοῖς ψεύδεσιν αὐτῶν ἄρχοντας· 7:3 ἐν ταῖς κακίαις αὐτῶν εὔφραναν βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐν τοῖς ψεύδεσιν αὐτῶν ἄρχοντας·
7:3 They made kings glad by their wickedness, and leaders by their lies. 7:3 They made kings glad by their wickedness, and leaders by their lies.

4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceases from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

7:4 πάντες μοιχεύοντες, ὡς κλίβανος καιόμενος εἰς πέψιν κατακαύματος ἀπὸ τῆς φλογός, ἀπὸ φυράσεως στέατος ἕως τοῦ ζυμωθῆναι αὐτό. 7:4 πάντες μοιχεύοντες, ὡς κλίβανος καιόμενος εἰς πέψιν κατακαύματος ἀπὸ τῆς φλογός, ἀπὸ φυράσεως στέατος ἕως τοῦ ζυμωθῆναι αὐτό.
7:4 They are all adulterers, like an oven being heated for cooking from burning by a flame, from the kneading of dough until it is leavened. 7:4 They are all adulterers, like an oven being heated for cooking from burning by a flame, from the kneading of dough until it is leavened.

5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

7:5 αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν βασιλέων ὑμῶν, ἤρξαντο οἱ ἄρχοντες θυμοῦσθαι ἐξ οἴνου, ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ μετὰ λοιμῶν· 7:5 αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν βασιλέων ὑμῶν, ἤρξαντο οἱ ἄρχοντες θυμοῦσθαι ἐξ οἴνου, ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ μετὰ λοιμῶν·
7:5 As for the days of our kings, the leaders began to be enraged with wine; he stretched out his hand with pestilent people. 7:5 As for the days of our kings, the leaders began to be enraged with wine; he stretched out his hand with pestilent people.

6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.

7:6 διότι ἀνεκαύθησαν ὡς κλίβανος αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ καταράσσειν αὐτούς, ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ὕπνου Ἐφραὶμ ἐνεπλήσθη, πρωῒ ἐγενήθη ἀνεκαύθη ὡς πυρὸς φέγγος. 7:6 διότι ἀνεκαύθησαν ὡς κλίβανος αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ καταράσσειν αὐτούς, ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ὅπου Ἐφραὶμ ἐνεπλήσθη, πρωῒ ἐγενήθη, ἀνεκαύθη ὡς πυρὸς φέγγος.
7:6 Because their hearts were kindled like an oven as they broke into pieces; all night long Ephraim was filled with sleep; morning came; he was kindled like a flame of fire. 7:6 Because their hearts were kindled like an oven as they broke into pieces; all night long Ephraim was filled with sleep; morning came; he was kindled like a flame of fire.

7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among those who calls to me.

7:7 πάντες ἐθερμάνθησαν ὡς κλίβανος καὶ κατέφαγον τοὺς κριτὰς αὐτῶν·
πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἔπεσαν, οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος ἐν αὐτοῖς πρός με. 		7:7 πάντες ἐθερμάνθησαν ὡς κλίβανος καὶ κατέφαγον τοὺς κριτὰς αὐτῶν·
πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἔπεσαν, οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος πρός με.

8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

7:8 Ἐφραὶμ ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς αὐτοῦ συνανεμείγνυτο, Ἐφραὶμ ἐγένετο ἐγκρυφίας οὐ μεταστρεφόμενος. 7:8 Ἐφραὶμ ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς αὐτοῦ συνεμίγνυτο, Ἐφραὶμ ἐγένετο ἐγκρυφίας οὐ μεταστρεφόμενος.
7:8 Ephraim was mixing himself with the peoples. Ephraim has become a pancake not turned over. 7:8 Ephraim was mixing himself with the peoples. Ephraim has become a pancake not turned over.

9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn't know it: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he doesn't know.

7:9 κατέφαγον ἀλλότριοι τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐκ ἐπέγνω·
καὶ πολιαὶ ἐξήνθησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς οὐκ ἔγνω. 		7:9 κατέφαγον ἀλλότριοι τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔγνω·

10 And the pride of Israēl testifies to his face; and they don't return to Yahweh their God, nor seek him for all this.

7:10 καὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἡ ὕβρις Ἰσραὴλ εἰς πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεψαν πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν αὐτὸν ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις. 7:10 καὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἡ ὕβρις Ἰσραὴλ εἰς πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεψαν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν αὐτὸν ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις.

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

7:11 καὶ ἦν Ἐφραὶμ ὡς περιστερὰ ἄνους οὐκ ἔχουσα καρδίαν·
Αἴγυπτον ἐπεκαλεῖτο καὶ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἐπορεύθησαν. 		7:11 καὶ ἦν Ἐφραὶμ ὡς περιστερὰ ἄνους οὐχ ἔχουσα καρδίαν·
Αἴγυπτον ἐπεκαλεῖτο καὶ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἐπορεύθησαν.

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

7:12 καθὼς ἄν πορεύωνται, ἐπιβαλῶ ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τὸ δίκτυόν μου·
καθὼς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατάξω αὐτούς, παιδεύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκοῇ τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῶν. 		7:12 καθὼς ἄν πορεύωνται, ἐπιβαλῶ ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τὸ δίκτυόν μου·
καθὼς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατάξω αὐτούς, παιδεύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκοῇ τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῶν.
7:12 Just as they go, I will cast my net over them; I will bring them down just like the birds of the air; I will discipline them by the report of their affliction. 7:12 Just as they go, I will cast my net over them; I will bring them down just like the birds of the air; I will discipline them by the report of their affliction.

13 Woe to them! for they have fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

7:13 οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἀπεπήδησαν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ·
δείλαιοί εἰσιν, ὅτι ἠσέβησαν εἰς ἐμέ·
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλυτρωσάμην αὐτούς, αὐτοὶ δὲ κατελάλησαν κατ' ἐμοῦ ψεύδη. 		7:13 οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἀπεπήδησαν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ·

But I redeemed them, and they spoke lies against me. 7:13 Woe to them, because they have run away from me! They are wretched, because they have acted impiously against me. But I redeemed them, and they spoke lies against me.

14 And they haven't cried to me with their heart, when they howled on their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and wine, and they rebel against me.

7:14 καὶ οὐκ ἐβόησαν πρός με αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, ἀλλ' ἢ ὠλόλυζον ἐν ταῖς κοίταις αὐτῶν·
ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ κατετέμνοντο.
ἐπαιδεύθησαν ἐν ἐμοί, 		7:14 καὶ οὐκ ἐβόησαν πρός με αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, ἀλλ' ἢ ὠλόλυζον ἐν ταῖς κοίταις αὐτῶν·
ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ κατετέμνοντο.

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

7:15 κἀγὼ κατίσχυσα τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ ἐλογίσαντο πονηρά. 7:15 ἐπαιδεύθησαν ἐν ἐμοί, κἀγὼ κατίσχυσα τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ ἐλογίσαντο πονηρά.
7:15 and I strengthened their arms, and they devised evil things against me. 7:15 They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms, and they devised evil things against me.

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

7:16 ἀπεστράφησαν εἰς οὐθέν, ἐγένοντο ὡς τόξον ἐντεταμένον·
πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν δι' ἀπαιδευσίαν γλώσσης αὐτῶν·
οὗτος ὁ φαυλισμὸς αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ. 		7:16 ἀπεστράφησαν εἰς οὐδέν, ἐγένοντο ὡς τόξον ἐντεταμένον·
πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν δι' ἀπαιδευσίαν γλώσσης αὐτῶν·
οὗτος ὁ φαυλισμὸς αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.
7:16 They have turned aside to nothing; they became like a fully stretched bow; their leaders shall fall by a sword because of their uneducated tongue. This will be their contempt in the land of Egypt. 7:16 They have turned aside to nothing; they became like a fully stretched bow; their leaders shall fall by a sword because of their uneducated tongue.
