HO-7:1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of
Ephraim was
discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit
falsehood; and the
thief cometh in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.
HO-7:2 And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember
all their
wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are
before my
face.
HO-7:3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the
princes with
their lies.
HO-7:4 They [are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the
baker, [who]
ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it
be leavened.
HO-7:5 In the day of our king the princes have made [him] sick
with bottles
of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
HO-7:6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven,
whiles they lie in
wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it
burneth as a
flaming fire.
HO-7:7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their
judges; all their
kings are fallen: [there is] none among them that calleth unto
me.
HO-7:8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim
is a cake not
turned.
HO-7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth
[it] not: yea,
gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
HO-7:10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and
they do not
return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
HO-7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they
call to Egypt,
they go to Assyria.
HO-7:12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I
will bring them
down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their
congregation
hath heard.
HO-7:13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction
unto them!
because they have transgressed against me: though I have
redeemed them, yet
they have spoken lies against me.
HO-7:14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when
they howled
upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine,
[and] they rebel
against me.
HO-7:15 Though I have bound [and] strengthened their arms, yet
do they
imagine mischief against me.
HO-7:16 They return, [but] not to the most 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.
