Hosea 7:1

When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity
of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood,
and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without. |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:2

And they consider not in their hearts that I
remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they
are before my face. |
|
|
|

They make the king glad with their wickedness,
and the princes with their lies. |
|
|
|

They
are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir
the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened. |
|
|
|

On the day of our king the princes made themselves
sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers. |
|
|
|

For they have made ready their heart like an
oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning
it burneth as a flaming fire. |
|
|

|
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their
judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto
me. |

Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake not turned. |
|
|

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

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his
face: yet they have not returned unto Jehovah their God, nor sought him, for all
this. |

And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding:
they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria. |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:12

When they shall go, I will spread my net upon
them; I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them,
as their congregation hath heard. |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:13
|
|
Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me;
destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem
them, yet they have spoken lies against me. |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:14
|
|
And they have not cried unto me with their heart,
but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine;
they rebel against me. |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:15
|
|
Though I have taught and strengthened their
arms, yet do they devise mischief against me. |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:16
|

They return, but not to him that is on high;
they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage
of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. |
