Hosea7:8
8. mixed ... among the people--by leagues with idolaters, and the adoption of their idolatrous practices (Ho 7:9, 11; Psa 106:35).
Ephraim ... cake not turned--a cake burnt on one side and unbaked on the other, and so uneatable; an image of the worthlessness of Ephraim. The Easterners bake their bread on the ground, covering it with embers (1Ki 19:6), and turning it every ten minutes, to bake it thoroughly without burning it.
