Instead of Epraim depending on God for stability He formed alliances with the people instead of him being a shepherd he became as sheep. The "cake not turned" was burnt on one side and raw on the other. A metaphor for just how mixed up their lives were.

In thinking they can serve both the Lord and idols, Israel is like an unturned pancake - burned on one side, uncooked ...read more
