“ Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over.

The people of Ephraim mix with the nations. They are like a thin loaf of bread that is baked on only one side.

Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

“ The people of Israel mingle with godless foreigners, making themselves as worthless as a half baked cake!

Ephraim has allowed himself to get mixed up with the nations. Ephraim is unturned bread baked on a griddle.

Ephraim is himself thrown about with the nations; Ephraim has become a round loaf not turned over.

“ Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned.

But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of Jehovah which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a foreign god.

And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long go ye limping between the two sides? if Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.

and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to Jehovah and swear by Malcam;

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.

They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.

And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.Neither hath she left her whoredoms since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her.Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.

They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee.Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
