⁷ They are all hot as an oven.
    They devour their rulers.
    All their kings have fallen.
    Not one of them calls on me.
⁸ Ephraim mixes itself with the nations.
    Ephraim is a flatbread not turned over.
⁹ Strangers have devoured his strength,
    but he does not realize it.
    There are gray hairs on his head,
    but he does not realize it.
