6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them who calls to me.
8 Ephraim, he mixes himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn`t know [it]: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn`t know [it].
10 The pride of Israel does testify to his face: yet they have not returned to Yahweh their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11 Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net on them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
