CAP. VII.
11 Israel is defoulid; bot and thou, Juda,
putte to thee rijp corn, whanne Y shal
turne to gydre the caitiftee of my peple.
1 Whanne Y wolde hele Yrael, the wickidnesse
of Effraym is shewid, and the malice
of Samarie, for thei wrou&yogh;ten lesyng.
And a ny&yogh;t theef wente in robbynge; a
litil day theef with out forth.
2 And lest
perauenture thei sayen in her hertis, me
hauynge mynde on al the malice of hem,
now her fyndyngis han gon about hem,
thei ben maad byfore my face.
3 In her
malice thei gladden the kyng, and in
her lesyngus the princis.
4 Alle doynge
auoutrie, as fourneice kyndlid of a man
seethinge. The citee restide a litil in
mengyng to gydre of soure dowe, til it
were sourdowid all.
5 The day of oure
kyng; princis bygunnen for to wexe wode
of wijn; he strei&yogh;te out his hond with
scorners.
6 For thei applieden as a fourneys
her herte, whanne he aspiede, or
sette, tresoun to hem. Al ni&yogh;t he slepte
seethinge hem, erly he set on fijr, as fijr
of flawme.
7 All ben maad hoot as a
fourneice, and deuoureden her domesmen.
All kyngis of hem fellen doun, and
ther is not in hem that shal crie to me.
8 Effraym in peplis he was meynt to
gydre; Effraym is maad a loof baken
vndir ashis, whiche is not turned a&yogh;ein.
9 Aliens eeten the strengthe of hym, and
he wist not; bot and whijt heeris ben
shed out in hym, and he knewe not.
10 And the pride of Yrael shal be mekid
in the face of hym; nether thei ben turned
a&yogh;ein to the Lord her God, and thei
sou&yogh;ten not hym in alle theese thingus.
11 And Effraym is maad as a culuer disceyued,
not hauynge herte. Thei inclepiden
-- --
Egypt, to Assiriens thei wenten.
12 And whanne thei shuln go, Y shal sprede
abrode on hem my nett, as a brid of
heuen Y shal drawe hem doun. Y shal
bete hem, vp the heeryng of the cumpanye
of hem.
13 Wo to hem, for thei
wenten awei fro me; thei shuln be
waastid, for thei trespassiden in me. Y
a&yogh;ein bou&yogh;te hem, and thei spaken a&yogh;einus
me lesyng.
14 And thei crieden not to me
in her herte, bot thei wouliden in her
couchis. Thei chewiden cud vpon whete,
and wijne, and departiden fro me.
15 And
I lernyde hem, and coumfortide the armys
of hem, and in me thei thou&yogh;ten
malice.
16 Thei turneden a&yogh;ein, that thei
shulden be with out &yogh;oc; thei ben maad
as a gylful bowe. The princis of hem
shuln falle in swerd, of the wodenesse of
her tunge; this the mowyng, or scornyng,
of hem in the lond of Egypt.
