They shall eat, and not have enough: they have used whoredom, therefore shall they not prosper: and why? They have forsaken the LORD, and not regarded him.

I know Ephraim well enough, and Israel is not hid from me: for Ephraim is become a harlot, and Israel is defiled.

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.

When Israel was young, I loved him: and called my son out of the land of Egypt.

Ephraim thinketh thus, "Tush, I am rich, I have good enough: In all my works shall not one fault be found, that I have offended."

But when they were well fed and had enough, they waxed proud, and forgot me.
