¹⁶ يرجعون ليس الى العلي. قد صاروا كقوس مخطئة. يسقط رؤساؤهم بالسيف من اجل سخط ألسنتهم. هذا هزؤهم في ارض مصر

⁴ ومنذ الازل لم يسمعوا ولم يصغوا لم تر عين الها غيرك يصنع لمن ينتظره.

¹ When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.

² They don't consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.

³ They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

⁴ They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.

⁵ On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
