Hosea 7 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Ephraim's Iniquity

Hos 7:1When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.

Hos 7:2

Hos 7:2And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.

Hos 7:3

Hos 7:3In their sin they make a king for themselves, and rulers in their deceit.

Hos 7:4

Hos 7:4They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.

Hos 7:5

Hos 7:5On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.

Hos 7:6

Hos 7:6For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.

Hos 7:7

Hos 7:7They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.

Hos 7:8

Hos 7:8Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

Hos 7:9

Hos 7:9Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.

Hos 7:10

Hos 7:10And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.

Hos 7:11

Hos 7:11And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

Hos 7:12

Hos 7:12When they go, my net will be stretched out over them; I will take them like the birds of heaven, I will give them punishment, I will take them away in the net for their sin.

Hos 7:13

Hos 7:13May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.

Hos 7:14

Hos 7:14And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.

Hos 7:15

Hos 7:15Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me.

Hos 7:16

Hos 7:16They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them.
