1. When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and bands of robbers plunder outside.
2. And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own deeds have surrounded them; they are before my face.
3. They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
