The VII. Chapter.
A When I vndertake to make Israel
whole, then the vngraciousnesse of
Ephraim and the wickednes of Samaria
commeth to light: then go they aboute
with lyes. At home, they be theues: and
without, they fall to robbynge. They c&obar;sidre
not in their hertes, that I rem&ebar;bre all their
wickednes. They go aboute &wt; their owne
ynuenci&obar;s, but I se them wel ynough. They
make the kinge and the princes, to haue pleasure
in their wickednes ∧ lyes. All these burne
in aduoutry, as it were an ouen þt; the baker
heateth, wh&ebar; he hath lefte kneadinge, till
the dowe be leuended. Euen so goeth it this
daye with oure kinges and prynces, for they
begynne to be woode droncken thorow wyne:
they vse familiarite with soch as disceaue
the.
B They with the ymaginacion of their
herte are like an ou&ebar;, their slepe is all þe; night
like the slepe of a baker, in the mornynge is
he as hote as the flame of fyre: they are altogether
as hote as an ouen.
They haue deuoured their owne iudges,
all their kinges are fall&ebar;: yet is there none of
th&ebar; þt; calleth vpon me. Therfore must Ephraim
be mixte amonge þe; Heithen. Ephraim is
become like a cake, þt; no man turneth: straungers
haue deuoured his strength, yet he regardeth
it not: he waxeth ful of gray haires,
yet wil he not knowe it: ∧ þe; pride of Israel is
cast downe before their face, note yet wil they not
turne to the LORDE their God, ner seke him,
for all this.
-- --
Ephraim is like a doue, that is begyled,
and hath no herte. note
C Now call they vpon the
Egipcians, now go they to the Assirians:
but whyle they be goinge here and there, I
shal sprede my net ouer them, ∧ drawe them
downe as þe; foules of the ayre: and acordinge
as they haue bene warned, so will I punysh
them. noteWo be vnto them, for they haue
forsak&ebar; me. They must be destroyed, for they
haue set me at naught. noteI am he that haue redemed
them, and yet they dyssemble &wt; me.
They call not vpon me with their hartes,
but lye youlinge vpon their beddes. Where
as they come together, it is but for meate ∧
drincke, and me will they not obeye. I haue
taught them, and defended their arme, yet
do they ymagin myschefe agaynst me. They
turne them selues, but not a right, ∧ are become
as a broken bowe. Their prynces shalbe
slayne &wt; the swearde, for the malice of their
tunges, soch blasphemies haue they lerned in
the londe of Egipte.
