Hosea 7
1When 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, <add>and</add> the troop of robbers spoileth without.2And they consider not in their hearts <add>that</add> I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.4They <add>are</add> all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, <add>who</add> ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.5In the day of our king the princes have made <add>him</add> sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.6For 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.7They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: <add>there is</add> none among them that calleth unto me.8Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth <add>it</add> not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
11Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.12When 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.13Woe 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.14And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, <add>and</add> they rebel against me.15Though I have bound <add>and</add> strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.16They return, <add>but</add> 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 <add>shall be</add> their derision in the land of Egypt.
