7. All of them are hot as an oven,and they devour their rulers.All their kings have fallen,and none of them calls upon me.
8. Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9. Strangers devour his strength,and he knows it not;gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,and he knows it not.
10. The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the Lord their God,nor seek him, for all this.
11. Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense,calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
12. As they go, I will spread over them my net;I will bring them down like birds of the heavens; I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregation.
