Hosea 7

¹When I heal Israel,

²But they fail to consider in their hearts

³They delight the king with their evil,

⁴They are all adulterers,

⁵The princes are inflamed with wine

⁶For they prepare their heart like an oven

⁷All of them are hot as an oven,

⁸Ephraim mixes with the nations;

⁹Foreigners consume his strength,

¹⁰Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,

¹¹So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove—

¹²As they go, I will spread My net over them;

¹³Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!

¹⁴They do not cry out to Me from their hearts

¹⁵Although I trained and strengthened their arms,

¹⁶They turn, but not to the Most High;
