Oséias 7

8Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

'Bolo não virado' simboliza incoerência: queimado de um lado, cru do outro. Israel oscila entre Deus e idolatria (Oséias 6:4).

9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
