28:007:002 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.
28:007:003 They make the king glad with their wickedness,
and the princes
with
their lies.
28:007:004 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.
28:007:005 In the day of our king the princes have
made him sick with
bottles
of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
28:007:006 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.
28:007:007 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.
28:007:008 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the
people; Ephraim is a
cake
not turned.
28:007:009 Strangers have devoured his strength, and
he knoweth it not:
yea,
gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth
not.
28:007:010 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.
28:007:011 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without
heart: they call to
Egypt,
they go to Assyria.
28:007:012 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.
28:007:013 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.
28:007:014 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.
28:007:015 Though I have bound and strengthened their
arms, yet do they
imagine
mischief against me.
28:007:016 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.
28:008:001 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall
come as an eagle
against
the house of the lord, because they have transgressed
my
covenant, and trespassed against my law.
28:008:002 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
28:008:003 Israel hath cast off the thing that is
good: the enemy shall
pursue
him.
