Israel and the Other Nations

“·Israel [L Ephraim; 4:17] mixes with other nations;
    he is like a ·pancake [cake; flat loaf] ·cooked only on one side [or burned on one side; L not turned].
·Foreign nations [Strangers; Foreigners] have ·eaten up [devoured; sapped] his strength,
    but he doesn’t know it.
·Israel is weak and feeble, like an old man [L Grey hair is scattered on him],
    but he doesn’t know it.
10 Israel’s ·pride [arrogance] ·will cause their defeat [or testifies against him; L answers in his face];
    they will not ·turn back [return] to the Lord their God
    or ·look to him for help [L seek him] in all this.
