Book 15 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - HOSEA - Chapter 007
07:001
when I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim
uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they commit falsehood; and the
thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers maketh a raid without
07:002
And let them not say to their heart--I remember all their
wickedness; now their own doings have beset them about, they are before My face
07:003
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the
princes with their lies
07:004
They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,
who ceaseth to stir from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened
07:005
On the day of our king the princes make him sick with the
heat of wine, he stretcheth out his hand with scorners
07:006
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while
they lie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth
as a flaming fire
07:007
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all
their kings are fallen, there is none among them that calleth unto Me
07:008
Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is
become a cake not turned
07:009
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it
not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not
07:010
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; but they
have not returned unto HaShem their G-d, nor sought Him, for all this
07:011
And Ephraim is become like a silly dove, without
understanding; they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria
07:012
Even as they 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 been made to hear
07:013
Woe unto them! for they have strayed from Me; Destruction
unto them! for they have transgressed against Me; Shall I then redeem them,
seeing they have spoken lies against Me
07:014
And they have not cried unto Me with their heart, though
they wail upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they
rebel against Me
07:015
Though I have trained and strengthened their arms, yet do
they devise evil against Me
07:016
They return, but not upwards; they are become 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
