< Hosea 7 >

1 When heal I Israel and it is revealed [the] iniquity of Ephraim and [the] evil deeds of Samaria for they do falsehood and a thief he comes it attacks a marauding band in the street.
When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.
2 And not they say to heart their all evil their I remember now they have surrounded them deeds their before face my they are.
But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.
3 By evil their they make glad [the] king and by lies their princes.
They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.
4 All of them [are] adulterers like an oven burning from a baker [who] he ceases stirring up from kneading [the] dough until is leavened it.
They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.
5 [the] day of King our they became sick princes fever from wine he stretched out hand his with scorners.
The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.
6 For they have brought near like oven heart their in ambush their all the night [is] sleeping baker their morning it [is] burning like a fire of flame.
For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them they are hot like oven and they devour rulers their all kings their they have fallen there not [is one who] calls among them to me.
All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.
8 Ephraim among the peoples he he mixes himself Ephraim he has become a bread cake not turned over.
Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.
9 They have consumed strangers strength his and he not he knows also gray hair it has sneaked in on him and he not he knows.
Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
10 And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and not they have returned to Yahweh God their and not they have sought him for all this.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
11 And he has become Ephraim like a dove silly there not [is] heart Egypt they have called Assyria they have gone.
So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
12 Just when they will go I will spread over them net my like [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will bring down them I will chasten them according to a report to assembly their.
As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
13 Woe! to them for they have fled from me devastation [belongs] to them for they have transgressed against me and I I will redeem them and they they have spoken on me lies.
Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.
14 And not they have cried out to me with heart their if they wail on beds their on grain and new wine they assemble themselves they turn aside against me.
They do not cry out to Me from their hearts when they wail upon their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.
15 And I I instructed [them] I strengthened arms their and against me they plot evil.
Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.
16 They turn - not height they have become like a bow of slackness they will fall by the sword leaders their from [the] indignation of tongue their this [will be] mockery their in [the] land of Egypt.
They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
