VII] :They are all hot as an oven,
 * And have devoured their judges;
 * All their kings are fallen:
 * There is none among them that calleth unto me.
 * Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people;
 * Ephraim is a cake not turned.
 * Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not:
 * Yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
 * And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face:
 * And they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.


 * Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart:
 * They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
 * When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them;
 * I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven;
 * I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
 * Woe unto them! for they have fled from me:
 * Destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me:
 * Though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
 * And they have not cried unto me with their heart,
 * When they howled upon their beds:
 * They assemble themselves for corn and wine,
 * And they rebel against me.
