Hosea 7 :: New International Version (NIV)

Hos 7:1

Hos 7:1whenever I would heal Israel, the sins of Ephraim are exposed and the crimes of Samaria revealed. They practice deceit, thieves break into houses, bandits rob in the streets;

Hos 7:2

Hos 7:2but they do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds. Their sins engulf them; they are always before me.

Hos 7:3

Hos 7:3“They delight the king with their wickedness, the princes with their lies.

Hos 7:4

Hos 7:4They are all adulterers, burning like an oven whose fire the baker need not stir from the kneading of the dough till it rises.

Hos 7:5

Hos 7:5On the day of the festival of our king the princes become inflamed with wine, and he joins hands with the mockers.

Hos 7:6

Hos 7:6Their hearts are like an oven; they approach him with intrigue. Their passion smolders all night; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

Hos 7:7

Hos 7:7All of them are hot as an oven; they devour their rulers. All their kings fall, and none of them calls on me.

Hos 7:8

Hos 7:8“Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over.

Hos 7:9

Hos 7:9Foreigners sap his strength, but he does not realize it. His hair is sprinkled with gray, but he does not notice.

Hos 7:10

Hos 7:10Israel’s arrogance testifies against him, but despite all this he does not return to the LORD his God or search for him.

Hos 7:11

Hos 7:11“Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless— now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria.

Hos 7:12

Hos 7:12When they go, I will throw my net over them; I will pull them down like the birds in the sky. When I hear them flocking together, I will catch them.

Hos 7:13

Hos 7:13Woe to them, because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them but they speak about me falsely.

Hos 7:14

Hos 7:14They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail on their beds. They slash themselves,[fn] appealing to their gods for grain and new wine, but they turn away from me.

Hos 7:15

Hos 7:15I trained them and strengthened their arms, but they plot evil against me.

Hos 7:16

Hos 7:16They do not turn to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent words. For this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
