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 was about to deliver my people from captivity, When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, And the wickedness of Samaria; For they practise fraud, And the thief entereth in, And the band of robbers spoileth without.

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

And they think not in their hearts, That I remember all their wickedness. Now shall their doings encompass them; They are before my face.

3 in/on/with distress: evil their to rejoice king and in/on/with lie their ruler

With their wickedness they gladden the king, And with their falsehoods the princes; All of them are adulterers;

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 as an oven heated by the baker; He ceaseth to stir the fire, Until the dough which he hath kneaded be leavened.

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

On the feast-day of our king, the princes are sick with the heat of wine, And he stretcheth out his hand with revilers.

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 make ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; All night the baker sleepeth; In the morning it gloweth 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

They all glow as an oven; They have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen; And none among them calleth upon me.

8 Ephraim in/on/with people he/she/it to mix Ephraim to be bun without to overturn

Ephraim hath mixed himself with the nations; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

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

Strangers have devoured his strength, And he knoweth it not; Yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, Yet he knoweth it not.

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

The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Yet do not they return to Jehovah their God, Nor seek him, for all this.

11 and to be Ephraim like/as dove to entice nothing heart Egypt to call: call to Assyria to go: went

Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding; They call upon Egypt; they go 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

When they go, I will spread my net over them; As birds of heaven will I bring them down. I will chastise them, as hath been proclaimed in their congregation.

13 woe! to/for them for to wander from me violence to/for them for to transgress in/on/with me and I to ransom them and they(masc.) to speak: speak upon me lie

Woe to them, for they have wandered from me! Destruction upon them, for they have rebelled against me! Though I myself would redeem them, they speak falsely to 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 cry not to me from their heart, But howl upon their beds; For corn and wine they assemble themselves; They rebel against me.

15 and I to discipline to strengthen: strengthen arm their and to(wards) me to devise: devise bad: evil

I have chastened them; I have also strengthened their arms; Yet do they devise 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 return, but not to the Most High; They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes shall fall by the sword for the haughtiness of their tongues; This shall be their reproach in the land of Egypt.
