Editing Hosea 7

{{Template:Books of the Old Testament}}

* [[Hosea 7:1|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:2|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:3|3]]   They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.  

* [[Hosea 7:4|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:5|5]]   In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.  

* [[Hosea 7:6|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:7|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:8|8]]   Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.  

* [[Hosea 7:9|9]]  Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.  

* [[Hosea 7:10|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:11|11]]   Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 

* [[Hosea 7:12|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:13|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:14|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.  

* [[Hosea 7:15|15]]   Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.  

* [[Hosea 7:16|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.
