NASB — Hosea 7 — KJV

Ephraim’s Iniquity

  1 When I awould heal° Israel°,
  The iniquity° of Ephraim° is uncovered°,
  And the evil° deeds° of Samaria°,
  For they deal° bfalsely°;
  The thief° enters° in,
  cBandits° raid° outside°,
  2 And they do not Iconsider° in their hearts°
  That I aremember° all° their wickedness°.
  Now° their bdeeds° are all° around° them;
  They are before° My face°.
  3 aWith their wickedness° they make° the bking° glad°,
  And the princes° with their clies°.
  4 They are aall° adulterers°,
  Like° an oven° heated° by the baker°
  Who ceases° to stir° up [the fire]
  From the kneading° of the dough° until° it is leavened°.
  5 On the Iday° of our king°, the princes° abecame° sick° with the heat° of wine°;
  He stretched° out his hand° with bscoffers°,
  6 For their hearts° are like an aoven°
  [As] they approach° their Iplotting°;
  Their IIanger° IIIsmolders° all° night°,
  In the morning° it burns° like a flaming° fire°.
  7 All° of them are hot° like an oven°,
  And they consume° their arulers°;
  All° their kings° have fallen°.
  bNone° of them calls° on Me.

  8 ¶ Ephraim° amixes° himself° with the Inations°;
  Ephraim° has become° a cake° not turned°.
  9 aStrangers° devour° his strength°,

  Gray° hairs° also° are sprinkled° on him,
  Yet he does not know° [it].

  I will bring° them down° like the birds° of the sky°.
  I will bchastise° them in accordance with the Iproclamation° to their assembly°.
  13 aWoe° to them, for they have bstrayed° from Me!
  Destruction° is theirs, for they have rebelled° against Me!
  I cwould redeem° them, but they speak° lies° against° Me.
  14 And athey do not cry° to Me from their heart°
  When° they wail° on their beds°;
  For the sake° of grain° and new° wine° they Ibassemble° themselves,
  They cturn° away° from Me.
  15 Although I trained° [and] strengthened° their arms°,
  Yet they adevise° evil° against° Me.
  16 They turn°, [but] not Iupward°,
  They are like a adeceitful° bow°;
  Their princes° will fall° by the sword°
  Because° of the IIbinsolence° of their tongue°.
  This° [will be] their cderision° in the land° of Egypt°.

A reproof of manifold sins.

1 ¶ When I would have healedºª Israel,º then the iniquityº of Ephraimº was discovered,ºª and the wickednessº of Samaria:º for² they commitºª falsehood;º and the thiefº cometh in,ºª [and] the troop¹ of robbers² spoilethºª without.º 2 And they considerºª not² in their heartsº [that] I rememberºª all² their wickedness:º now² their own doingsº have beset them about;ºª they are² before² my face.º 3 They make the king¹ gladºª² with their wickedness,º and the princesº with their lies.º 4 They [are] all² adulterers,ºª as² an ovenº heatedºª by² the baker,ºª [who] ceasethºª from raisingºª² after he hath kneadedºª² the dough,º until² it be leavened.ºª 5 In the dayº of our kingº the princesº have made [him] sickºª with bottlesº of wine;º² he stretched outºª his handº with² scorners.ºª 6 For² they have made readyºª their heartº like an oven,º whiles they lie in wait:ºª their bakerºª sleepethº all² the night;º in the morningº it² burnethºª as a flamingº fire.º 7 They are all hotºª² as an oven,º and have devouredºª² their judges;ºª all² their kingsº are fallen:ºª [there is] none² among them that callethºª unto² me. 8 Ephraim,º he² hath mixed¹ª himself² among the people;º Ephraimº is² a cakeº not² turned.ºª 9 Strangersºª have devouredºª his strength,º and he² knowethºª [it] not:² yea,² gray hairsº are here and thereºª upon him, yet he² knowethºª not.² 10 And the prideº of Israelº testifiethºª to his face:º and they do not² returnºª to² the LORDº their God,º nor² seekºª him for all² this.²

God's wrath against them for their hypocrisy.

11 ¶ Ephraimº also is² like a sillyºª doveº without² heart:º they callºª to Egypt,º they goºª to Assyria.º 12 When² they shall go,¹ª² I will spreadºª my netº upon² them; I will bring them downºª as the fowlsº of the heaven;º I will chastiseºª them, as their congregationº hath heard.º 13 Woeº unto them! for² they have fledºª from² me: destructionº unto them! because² they have transgressedºª against me: though I² have redeemedºª them, yet they² have spokenºª liesº against² me. 14 And they have not² criedºª unto² me with their heart,º when² they howledºª upon² their beds:º they assemble¹ª themselves² for² cornº and wine,º [and] they rebelºª against me. 15 Though I² have boundºª [and] strengthenedºª their arms,º yet do they imagineºª mischiefº against² me. 16 They return,ºª [but] not² to the most High:º they are² like a deceitfulº bow:º their princesº shall fallºª by the swordº for the rageº² of their tongue:º thisº [shall be] their derisionº in the landº of Egypt.º
