Hosea 7 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.

1 H7495 When I would have healed [H8800] H3478 Israel H5771 , then the iniquity H669 of Ephraim H1540 was discovered [H8738] H7451 , and the wickedness H8111 of Samaria H6466 : for they commit [H8804] H8267 falsehood H1590 ; and the thief H935 cometh in [H8799] H1416 , and the troop H6584 of robbers spoileth [H8804] H2351 without.

2 H559 And they consider [H8799] H3824 not in their hearts H2142 that I remember [H8804] H7451 all their wickedness H4611 : now their own doings H5437 have beset them about [H8804] H6440 ; they are before my face.

3 H4428 They make the king H8055 glad [H8762] H7451 with their wickedness H8269 , and the princes H3585 with their lies.

4 H5003 They are all adulterers [H8764] H8574 , as an oven H1197 heated [H8802] H644 by the baker [H8802] H7673 , who ceaseth [H8799] H5782 from raising [H8800] H3888 after he hath kneaded [H8800] H1217 the dough H2556 , until it be leavened [H8800] .

5 H3117 In the day H4428 of our king H8269 the princes H2470 have made him sick [H8689] H2534 with bottles H3196 of wine H4900 ; he stretched out [H8804] H3027 his hand H3945 with scorners [H8802] .

6 H7126 For they have made ready [H8765] H3820 their heart H8574 like an oven H693 , whiles they lie in wait [H8800] H644 : their baker [H8802] H3463 sleepeth H3915 all the night H1242 ; in the morning H1197 it burneth [H8802] H3852 as a flaming H784 fire.

7 H2552 They are all hot [H8735] H8574 as an oven H398 , and have devoured [H8804] H8199 their judges [H8802] H4428 ; all their kings H5307 are fallen [H8804] H7121 : there is none among them that calleth [H8802] unto me.

8 H669 Ephraim H1101 , he hath mixed [H8704] H5971 himself among the people H669 ; Ephraim H5692 is a cake H2015 not turned [H8803] .

9 H2114 Strangers [H8801] H398 have devoured [H8804] H3581 his strength H3045 , and he knoweth [H8804] H7872 it not: yea, gray hairs H2236 are here and there [H8804] H3045 upon him, yet he knoweth [H8804] not.

10 H1347 And the pride H3478 of Israel H6030 testifieth [H8804] H6440 to his face H7725 : and they do not return [H8804] H3068 to the LORD H430 their God H1245 , nor seek [H8765] him for all this.

11 H669 Ephraim H6601 also is like a silly [H8802] H3123 dove H3820 without heart H7121 : they call [H8804] H4714 to Egypt H1980 , they go [H8804] H804 to Assyria.

12 H3212 When they shall go [H8799] H6566 , I will spread [H8799] H7568 my net H3381 upon them; I will bring them down [H8686] H5775 as the fowls H8064 of the heaven H3256 ; I will chastise [H8686] H5712 them, as their congregation H8088 hath heard.

13 H188 Woe H5074 unto them! for they have fled [H8804] H7701 from me: destruction H6586 unto them! because they have transgressed [H8804] H6299 against me: though I have redeemed [H8799] H1696 them, yet they have spoken [H8765] H3577 lies against me.

14 H2199 And they have not cried [H8804] H3820 unto me with their heart H3213 , when they howled [H8686] H4904 upon their beds H1481 : they assemble [H8709] H1715 themselves for corn H8492 and wine H5493 , and they rebel [H8799] against me.

15 H3256 Though I have bound [H8765] H2388 and strengthened [H8765] H2220 their arms H2803 , yet do they imagine [H8762] H7451 mischief against me.

16 H7725 They return [H8799] H5920 , but not to the most High H7423 : they are like a deceitful H7198 bow H8269 : their princes H5307 shall fall [H8799] H2719 by the sword H2195 for the rage H3956 of their tongue H2097 : this H3933 shall be their derision H776 in the land H4714 of Egypt.
