1 God says: I want to make Israel well. But I see bad in Ephraim and Samaria. People tell lies. A thief comes in. Robbers hurt outside. 2 The people forget that God sees. God remembers what they do. Their bad is all around. It is in front of God. ️ 3 They make the king glad with bad. They make leaders glad with lies. ️ 4 All of them cheat. They are like a hot oven that burns. A baker makes it hot. 5 On the king’s day, leaders drink too much wine. The king sits with people who make fun. 6 Their hearts are like an oven. At night they plan to hurt. In the morning the fire is big. 7 They are hot like an oven. They hurt judges. Many kings fall. No one calls to God. ⚖️⬇️ 8 Ephraim mixes with other people. Ephraim is like bread not turned. One side is burned. 9 Strangers take his strength. He does not know. Gray hair is on him. He does not know. ➡️ 10 Israel acts proud. They do not come back to God. They do not look for God. 11 Ephraim is like a silly dove with no sense. They call Egypt. They run to Assyria. ️❓➡️➡️ 12 God says: When they go, I will throw a net. I will bring them down like birds. I will teach them with pain, like I said. ️️⬇️ 13 God says: Oh no for them! They ran from Me. Bad will come. I want to save them, but they tell lies about Me. ⚠️♂️❌ 14 They do not cry to Me with a true heart. In bed they cry loud for grain and wine. But they turn against Me. ️ 15 God says: I made them strong. I helped their arms. But they plan bad against Me. ➡️❌ 16 They turn, but not to God. They are like a bad bow that will not shoot straight. Their leaders will fall for mean words. Egypt will laugh at them. ❌️⬇️
