Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
All Commentaries on Hosea 7:8 Go To Hosea 7
Jerome
AD 420
The kingdom of the ten tribes has become like any other nation because they went away from the Lord. And he [Ephraim] is like a bread beneath the ashes that is not turned, that is, he does not repent.
