9 straungers haue deuoured his strength, yet he regardeth it not: he waxeth full of gray heares, yet wyll he not knowe it

11 Ephraim is lyke a doue, that is begyled, and hath no herte. Now call they vpon the Egypcyans, nowe go they to the Assyrians:
12 but whyle they be goynge here and there, I shall sprede my net ouer them, & drawe them downe as the foules of the ayre: & accordyng as they haue bene warned, so will I punishe them.
13 Wo be vnto them, for they haue forsaken me. They must be destroyed, for they haue set me at naught, I am he that haue redemed them, and yet they dissemble wyth me.
14 They call not vpon me with theyr hertes, but lye houlynge vpon theyr beddes. Where as they come together, it is but for meate & dryncke, and me will they not obeye.
15 I haue taught them, and defended theyr arme, yet do they ymagin myschefe against me.
16 They turne them selues, but not to the most hyest, & are become as a broken bowe. Their princes shalbe slayne with the swearde, for the malyce of theyr tunges, soche scornnes shall they haue in the lande of Egypt.
