When I would have healed Yisroel, then the avon (iniquity) of Ephrayim was exposed, and the ra'ot (crimes) of Shomron; for they practice sheker; and the ganav intrudes, and the bandit robs bachutz (in the street).
2
And they consider not in their levavot that I remember all their ra'ah; now their own evil doings surround them; they are before My face.
They make the Melech glad with their ra'ah, and the sarim (princes) with their lies.
They are all no'afim (adulterers), as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth stirring from the kneading of the batzek (dough), until its chametz leavening rises.

י֣וֹם SDBH on the day מַלְכֵּ֔נוּ SDBH of our king הֶחֱל֥וּ SDBH are inflamed שָׂרִ֖ים SDBH The princes חֲמַ֣ת SDBH . . . מִיָּ֑יִן SDBH with wine מָשַׁ֥ךְ SDBH so he joins hands יָד֖וֹ SDBH . . . אֶת־ SDBH with לֹצְצִֽים׃ SDBH those who mock him
In the Yom Malkeinu the sarim (princes) have made him sick with the heat of yayin; he has stretched out his hand with the letzim (mockers).
For they have made ready their lev like an oven, while they lie in wait; their anger smolders kol halailah; in the boker it burneth like an eish of flame.
They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their shofetim; all their melachim are fallen; there is none among them that calleth unto Me.
Ephrayim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephrayim is a flat cake not turned over.
9
אָכְל֤וּ SDBH consume זָרִים֙ SDBH Foreigners כֹּח֔וֹ SDBH his strength וְה֖וּא SDBH but he לֹ֣א SDBH does not יָדָ֑ע SDBH notice גַּם־ SDBH Even שֵׂיבָה֙ SDBH with gray זָ֣רְקָה SDBH his hair is streaked בּ֔וֹ וְה֖וּא SDBH but he לֹ֥א SDBH does not יָדָֽע׃ SDBH know
Zarim have devoured his ko'ach, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, yet he hath no da'as.
And the ga'on Yisroel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Hashem Eloheihem, nor seek Him for all this.
Ephrayim also is like an easily deceived yonah without sense; they call to Mitzrayim, they turn to Assyria.
When they shall go, I will spread My reshet (net) upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of Shomayim; I will chastise them, when I hear them congregating.
13
א֤וֹי SDBH Woe לָהֶם֙ to them כִּֽי־ for נָדְד֣וּ SDBH they have strayed מִמֶּ֔נִּי from Me שֹׁ֥ד SDBH Destruction לָהֶ֖ם to them כִּֽי־ for פָ֣שְׁעוּ SDBH they have rebelled בִ֑י against Me וְאָנֹכִ֣י SDBH Though I אֶפְדֵּ֔ם SDBH would redeem them וְהֵ֕מָּה SDBH . . . דִּבְּר֥וּ SDBH they speak עָלַ֖י against Me כְּזָבִֽים׃ SDBH lies
Woe unto them! For they have strayed from Me. Sod (destruction) unto them because they have committed pesha against Me! Though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken kazav (lies) against Me. [
14
וְלֹֽא־ SDBH They do not זָעֲק֤וּ SDBH cry out אֵלַי֙ to Me בְּלִבָּ֔ם SDBH from their hearts כִּ֥י when יְיֵלִ֖ילוּ SDBH they wail עַל־ upon מִשְׁכְּבוֹתָ֑ם SDBH their beds עַל־ for דָּגָ֧ן SDBH grain וְתִיר֛וֹשׁ SDBH and new wine יִתְגּוֹרָ֖רוּ SDBH They slash themselves יָס֥וּרוּ SDBH but turn away בִֽי׃ from Me
And they have not cried unto Me with their levavot, when they wailed upon their beds; they congregate themselves for dagan and tirosh, and they depart from Me.
Though I have trained and strengthened their zero'ot (arms), yet do they plot rah against Me.
16
יָשׁ֣וּבוּ׀ SDBH They turn לֹ֣א SDBH but not עָ֗ל to the Most High הָיוּ֙ they are כְּקֶ֣שֶׁת SDBH bow רְמִיָּ֔ה SDBH like a faulty יִפְּל֥וּ SDBH will fall בַחֶ֛רֶב SDBH by the sword שָׂרֵיהֶ֖ם SDBH Their leaders מִזַּ֣עַם SDBH for the cursing לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם SDBH of their tongue ז֥וֹ SDBH for this לַעְגָּ֖ם SDBH they will be ridiculed בְּאֶ֥רֶץ SDBH in the land מִצְרָֽיִם׃ SDBH of Egypt
They return, but not to Most High; they are like a faulty keshet; their sarim (princes) shall fall by the cherev for the insolence of their leshon; this shall be their derision in Eretz Mitzrayim.
