Context Readings

Ephraim's Guilt

1 When I undertake to make Israel whole, then the ungraciousness of Ephraim and the wickedness of Samaria cometh to light: then go they about with lies. At home, they be thieves: and without they fall to robbing. 2 They consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. They go about with their own inventions, but I see them well enough.
