Hosea
Chapter 7
KJV · Textus Receptus
When I would havehealedIsrael, then theiniquity ofEphraim wasdiscovered, and thewickedness ofSamaria: for theycommitfalsehood; and thethief comethin, and thetroop of robbersspoileth without.
2 And theyconsider not in theirhearts that Iremember all theirwickedness: now their owndoings have beset themabout; they are before my face.
3 They make thekingglad with theirwickedness, and theprinces with their lies.
4 They are alladulterers, as anovenheated by thebaker, whoceaseth fromraising after he hathkneaded thedough, until it be leavened.
5 In theday of ourking theprinces have made himsick withbottles ofwine; he stretchedout hishand with scorners.
6 For they have madeready theirheart like anoven, whiles they lie inwait: theirbakersleepeth all thenight; in themorning itburneth as aflaming fire.
7 They are allhot as anoven, and havedevoured theirjudges; all theirkings arefallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8Ephraim, he hathmixed himself among thepeople;Ephraim is acake not turned.
9Strangers havedevoured hisstrength, and heknoweth it not: yea, grayhairs are here andthere upon him, yet he knoweth not.
10 And thepride ofIsraeltestifieth to hisface: and they do notreturn to theLORD theirGod, nor seek him for all this.
11Ephraim also is like asillydove withoutheart: theycall toEgypt, theygo to Assyria.
12 When they shallgo, I willspread mynet upon them; I will bring themdown as thefowls of theheaven; I willchastise them, as theircongregation hath heard.
13Woe unto them! for they havefled from me:destruction unto them! because they havetransgressed against me: though I haveredeemed them, yet they havespoken lies against me.
14 And they have notcried unto me with theirheart, when theyhowled upon theirbeds: theyassemble themselves forcorn andwine, and they rebel against me.
15 Though I havebound andstrengthened theirarms, yet do theyimagine mischief against me.
16 Theyreturn, but not to the mostHigh: they are like adeceitfulbow: theirprinces shallfall by thesword for therage of theirtongue:this shall be theirderision in theland of Egypt.
