Rh :For they commit lewdness.
 * I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel:
 * There is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
 * Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee,
 * When I returned the captivity of my people.


 * I would have healed Israel,
 * Then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria:
 * For they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in,
 * And the troop of robbers spoileth without.
 * And they consider not in their hearts
 * That I remember all their wickedness:
 * Now their own doings have beset them about;
 * They are before my face.
 * They make the king glad with their wickedness,
 * And the princes with their lies.
 * They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,
 * Who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
 * In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine;
 * He stretched out his hand with scorners.
 * For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait:
 * Their baker sleepeth all the night;
 * In the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
