Hosea 7

1 like/as to heal I to/for Israel and to reveal: reveal iniquity: crime Ephraim and distress: evil Samaria for to work deception and thief to come (in): come to strip band in/on/with outside

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 to say to/for heart their all distress: evil their to remember now to turn: surround them deed their before face my to be

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.

They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.

4 all their to commit adultery like oven to burn: burn from to bake to cease to rouse from to knead dough till to leaven he

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 day king our be weak: ill ruler rage from wine to draw hand his with to mock

The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.

6 for to present: come like/as oven heart their in/on/with ambush their all [the] night sleeping to bake their morning he/she/it to burn: burn like/as fire 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 their to warm like/as oven and to eat [obj] to judge them all king their to fall: fall nothing to call: call to in/on/with them to(wards) 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.

Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.

9 to eat be a stranger strength his and he/she/it not to know also greyheaded to scatter in/on/with him and he/she/it not to know

Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.

10 and to answer pride Israel in/on/with face his and not to return: return to(wards) LORD God their and not to seek him in/on/with 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 to be Ephraim like/as dove to entice nothing heart Egypt to call: call to Assyria to go: went

So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.

12 like/as as which to go: went to spread upon them net my like/as bird [the] heaven to go down them to discipline them like/as report to/for congregation 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.

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 to cry out to(wards) me in/on/with heart their for to wail upon bed their upon grain and new wine to drag/chew/saw to turn aside: turn aside in/on/with 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 to discipline to strengthen: strengthen arm their and to(wards) me to devise: devise bad: evil

Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.

16 to return: return not height to be like/as bow deceit to fall: kill in/on/with sword ruler their from indignation tongue their this derision their in/on/with land: country/planet 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.
