Ephraim's Guilt

14 Neither made they outcry unto me, in their heart, although they kept on howling upon their beds, over corn and new wine, they gathered themselves together, they rebelled against me. 15 When, I, had warned them, I strengthened their arm, - yet, against me, kept they on devising wickedness. 16 They would return - not to him who is on high! They have become like a deceitful bow, their rulers, shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue, this, shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
