Ephraim's
Iniquity |
|
|
 |
|
Hosea 7:1
|
|
When I would heal Israel, The iniquity of Ephraim
is uncovered, And the evil deeds of Samaria, For they deal falsely; The thief
enters in, Bandits raid outside, |
|
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:2
|
|
And they do not consider in their hearts That
I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are
before My face. |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:3
|
|
With their wickedness they make the king glad,
And the princes with their lies. |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:4
|
|
They are all adulterers, Like an oven heated
by the baker Who ceases to stir up the fire From the kneading of the dough until
it is leavened. |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:5
|
|
On the day of our king, the princes became sick
with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers, |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:6
|
|
For their hearts are like an oven As they approach
their plotting; Their anger smolders all night, In the morning it burns like a
flaming fire. |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 7:7
|
|
All of them are hot like an oven, And they consume
their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:8
|
|
Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim
has become a cake not turned. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:9
|
|
Strangers devour his strength, Yet he does not
know it; Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him, Yet he does not know it. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:10
|
|
Though the pride of Israel testifies against
him, Yet they have not returned to the LORD their God, Nor have they sought Him,
for all this. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:11
|
|
Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without
sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:12
|
|
When they go, I will spread My net over them;
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them in accordance
with the proclamation to their assembly. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:13
|
|
Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!
Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them,
but they speak lies against Me. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:14
|
|
And they do not cry to Me from their heart When
they wail on their beds; For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves,
They turn away from Me. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:15
|
|
Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me. |
|
|
|
|
Hosea 7:16
|
|
They turn, but not upward, They are like a deceitful
bow; Their princes will fall by the sword Because of the insolence of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt. |
