# ***HOSEA 7***

---

\[1\] when I would heal Israel,

the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,

and the evil deeds of Samaria,

for they deal falsely;

the thief breaks in,

and the bandits raid outside.

\[2\] But they do not consider

that I remember all their evil.

Now their deeds surround them;

they are before my face.

\[3\] By their evil they make the king glad,

and the princes by their treachery.

\[4\] They are all adulterers;

they are like a heated oven

whose baker ceases to stir the fire,

from the kneading of the dough

until it is leavened.

\[5\] On the day of our king, the princes

became sick with the heat of wine;

he stretched out his hand with mockers.

\[6\] For with hearts like an oven they approach their intrigue;

all night their anger smolders;

in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

\[7\] All of them are hot as an oven,

and they devour their rulers.

All their kings have fallen,

and none of them calls upon me.

\[8\] Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;

Ephraim is a cake not turned.

\[9\] Strangers devour his strength,

and he knows it not;

gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,

and he knows it not.

\[10\] The pride of Israel testifies to his face;

yet they do not return to the LORD their God,

nor seek him, for all this.

\[11\] Ephraim is like a dove,

silly and without sense,

calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.

\[12\] As they go, I will spread over them my net;

I will bring them down like birds of the heavens;

I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregation.

\[13\] Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!

Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!

I would redeem them,

but they speak lies against me.

\[14\] They do not cry to me from the heart,

but they wail upon their beds;

for grain and wine they gash themselves;

they rebel against me.

\[15\] Although I trained and strengthened their arms,

yet they devise evil against me.

\[16\] They return, but not upward;

they are like a treacherous bow;

their princes shall fall by the sword

because of the insolence of their tongue.

This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. (ESV)
