Context of Hosea 7:2
1When 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 ravageth without. And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face. 3They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. 4They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2And they consider not in their hearts - Literally, (as in the E. M) “they say not to their hearts.” The conscience is God‘s voice to the heart from within; man‘s knowledge of the law of God, and his memory of it, is man‘s voice, reminding his heart and rebellious affections to abide in their obedience to God.
