Hosea 7 (WEBP)

[1] When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
[2] They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
[3] They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
[4] They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
[5] On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
[6] For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smolders all night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
[7] They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
[8] Ephraim mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
[9] Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn’t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realize it.
[10] The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven’t returned to Yahweh their God, nor sought him, for all this.
[11] “Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
[12] When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
[13] Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
[14] They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
[15] Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
[16] They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Hosea 7 (KJVS)

[1] When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
[2] And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
[3] They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
[4] They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
[5] In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
[6] For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
[7] They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
[8] Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
[9] Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
[10] And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.
[11] Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
[12] When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
[13] Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
[14] And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
[15] Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
[16] They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
