7 when I would heal Israel,
    the corruption of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the wicked deeds of Samaria,
for they deal falsely;
    the thief breaks in,
    and the bandits raid outside.^(A)
2 But they do not consider
    that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them;
    they are before my face.^(B)
3 By their wickedness they make the king glad,
    and the officials by their treachery.
