1 When I would have brought healing to Israel, then was disclosed the iniquity of Ephraim, and the wicked doings of Samaria, for they have wrought falsehood, —when, a thief, would enter, a band roamed about, outside,

like/as to heal I to/for Israel and to reveal: reveal iniquity: crime Ephraim and distress: evil Samaria for to work deception and thief to come (in): come to strip band in/on/with outside

2 And they say not to their own hearts, that, all their wickedness, I remember, now, have their doings, beset them about, right before my face, have they been done.

and not to say to/for heart their all distress: evil their to remember now to turn: surround them deed their before face my to be

3 By their wickedness, they gladden a king, and, by their flatteries, —rulers.

in/on/with distress: evil their to rejoice king and in/on/with lie their ruler

4 They all, are adulterers, like an oven too hot for the baker, —who leaveth off stoking, after kneading the dough, till the whole be leavened.

all their to commit adultery like oven to burn: burn from to bake to cease to rouse from to knead dough till to leaven he

5 In the day of our king, the rulers, have made themselves ill, with the heat of wine, —he hath extended his hand with scoffers.

6 For they have made ready, like an oven, their heart, by their lying in wait, —all the night, their baker sleepeth, in the morning, he, kindleth up as it were a blazing fire.

for to present: come like/as oven heart their in/on/with ambush their all [the] night sleeping to bake their morning he/she/it to burn: burn like/as fire flame

11 So then, Ephraim, hath become, like a simple dove, having no understanding, on Egypt, have they called, to Assyria, have they gone,

and to be Ephraim like/as dove to entice nothing heart Egypt to call: call to Assyria to go: went

12 Whithersoever they go, I will spread over them my net, like a bird of the heavens, will I bring them down, I will chastise them, by the time the report can reach the flock of them.

like/as as which to go: went to spread upon them net my like/as bird [the] heaven to go down them to discipline them like/as report to/for congregation their

13 Woe to them! for they have taken flight from me, destruction to them! for they have transgressed against me, —when, I, would have ransomed them, then, they, spake—concerning me—falsehoods.
