Ephraim’s Wrongdoing

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:1 -

When I would heal Israel,

The wrongdoing of Ephraim is uncovered,

And the evil deeds of Samaria,

For they practice deception;

The thief enters,

A band of robbers attack outside,

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:2 -

And they do not [fn]consider in their hearts

That I remember all their wickedness.

Now their deeds surround them;

They are before My face.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:3 -

With their wickedness they make the king happy,

And the officials with their lies.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:4 -

They are all adulterers,

Like an oven heated by the baker,

Who stops [fn]stoking the fire

From the time the dough is kneaded until it is leavened.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:5 -

On the [fn]day of our king, the officials became sick with the heat of wine;

He stretched out his hand with [fn]scoffers,

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:6 -

For their hearts are like an oven

As they approach their [fn]plotting;

Their [fn]anger [fn]smolders all night,

In the morning it burns like flaming fire.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:7 -

All of them are hot like an oven,

And they consume their rulers;

All their kings have fallen.

None of them calls on Me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:8 -

Ephraim is himself thrown about with the [fn]nations;

Ephraim has become a round loaf not turned over.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:9 -

Strangers devour his strength,

Yet he does not know it;

Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him,

Yet he does not know it.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:10 -

Though the pride of Israel testifies against him,

Yet they have not returned to the LORD their God,

Nor have they sought Him, despite all this.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:11 -

So Ephraim has become like a gullible dove, without [fn]sense;

They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:12 -

When they go, I will spread My net over them;

I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.

I will discipline them in accordance with the [fn]proclamation to their assembly.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:13 -

Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!

Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me!

I would redeem them, but they have spoken lies against Me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:14 -

And they do not cry to Me from their heart

When they wail on their beds;

For the sake of grain and new wine they [fn]assemble themselves,

They turn against Me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:15 -

Although I trained and strengthened their arms,

Yet they devise evil against Me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:16 -

They turn, but not [fn]upward,

They are like a loose bow;

Their officials will fall by the sword

Because of the [fn]insolence of their tongue.

This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
