Hosea 7

1
When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
2
They donโ€™t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
3
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4
They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
6
For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
8
Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
9
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesnโ€™t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesnโ€™t realize it.
10
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they havenโ€™t returned to Yahweh their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11
โ€œEphraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
12
When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
13
Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14
They havenโ€™t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
15
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
16
They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
