“Ephraim mixes himself among the nations.Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.”
Hosea 7:8 (WEB)
Context Reading
6For they have prepared their heart like an oven,while they lie in wait.Their anger smolders all night.In the morning it burns as a flaming fire. 7They are all hot as an oven,and devour their judges.All their kings have fallen.There is no one among them who calls to me. 8Ephraim mixes himself among the nations.Ephraim is a pancake not turned over. 9Strangers have devoured his strength,and he doesn’t realize it.Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him,and he doesn’t realize it. 10The pride of Israel testifies to his face;yet they haven’t returned to Yahweh their God,nor sought him, for all this.
