Hosea 7:1 When I would have healed7495 Israel,3478 then the iniquity5771 of Ephraim669 was discovered,1540 and the wickedness7451{Heb. evils} of Samaria:8111 for they commit6466 falsehood;8267 and the thief1590 cometh in,935 and the troop1416 of robbers spoileth6584{Heb. strippeth} without.2351 cr 2 And they consider559 not{Heb. say not to} in their hearts3824 that I remember2142 all their wickedness:7451 now their own doings4611 have beset them about;5437 they are before my face.6440 cr 3 They make the king4428 glad8055 with their wickedness,7451 and the princes8269 with their lies.3585 cr 4 They are all adulterers,5003 as an oven8574 heated1197 by the baker,644 who ceaseth7673{Or, the raiser will cease} from raising5782{Or, from waking} after he hath kneaded3888 the dough,1217 until it be leavened.2556 cr 5 In the day3117 of our king4428 the princes8269 have made him sick2470 with bottles2534 of wine;3196{Or, with heat through wine} he stretched out4900 his hand3027 with scorners.3945 cr 6 For they have made ready7126{Or, applied} their heart3820 like an oven,8574 whiles they lie in wait:693 their baker644 sleepeth3463 all the night;3915 in the morning1242 it burneth1197 as a flaming3852 fire.784 cr 7 They are all hot2552 as an oven,8574 and have devoured398 their judges;8199 all their kings4428 are fallen:5307 there is none among them that calleth7121 unto me. cr

Hosea 7:8 Ephraim,669 he hath mixed1101 himself among the people;5971 Ephraim669 is a cake5692 not turned.2015 cr 9 Strangers2114 have devoured398 his strength,3581 and he knoweth3045 it not: yea, gray hairs7872 are here and there2236{Heb. sprinkled} upon him, yet he knoweth3045 not. cr 10 And the pride1347 of Israel3478 testifieth6030 to his face:6440 and they do not return7725 to the LORD3068 their God,430 nor seek1245 him for all this. cr

Hosea 7:11 Ephraim669 also is like a silly6601 dove3123 without heart:3820 they call7121 to Egypt,4714 they go1980 to Assyria.804 cr 12 When they shall go,3212 I will spread6566 my net7568 upon them; I will bring them down3381 as the fowls5775 of the heaven;8064 I will chastise3256 them, as their congregation5712 hath heard.8088 cr 13 Woe188 unto them! for they have fled5074 from me: destruction7701{Heb. spoil} unto them! because they have transgressed6586 against me: though I have redeemed6299 them, yet they have spoken1696 lies3577 against me. cr 14 And they have not cried2199 unto me with their heart,3820 when they howled3213 upon their beds:4904 they assemble1481 themselves for corn1715 and wine,8492 and they rebel5493 against me. cr 15 Though I have bound3256{Or, chastened} and strengthened2388 their arms,2220 yet do they imagine2803 mischief7451 against me. cr 16 They return,7725 but not to the most High:5920 they are like a deceitful7423 bow:7198 their princes8269 shall fall5307 by the sword2719 for the rage2195 of their tongue:3956 this2097 shall be their derision3933 in the land776 of Egypt.4714 cr
