    the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the evil deeds of (B)Samaria,
for (C)they deal falsely;
    the thief breaks in,
    and the bandits raid outside.
But they do not consider
    that (D)I remember all their evil.
Now (E)their deeds surround them;
    (F)they are before my face.
By their evil (G)they make (H)the king glad,
    and the princes by their treachery.

whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
    from the kneading of the dough
    until it is leavened.
