Hosea 7:9-16

9 1StrangersH2114 devourH398 his strengthH3581, Yet he 2does not knowH3045 it; GrayH7872 hairsH7872 alsoH1571 are sprinkledH2236 on him, Yet he does not knowH3045 it.10Though the 3prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 testifiesH6030 againstH6440 him, Yet 4they have not returnedH7725 to the LordH3068 their GodH430, NorH3808 have they soughtH1245 Him, for allH3605 thisH2088.11So 5EphraimH669 has becomeH1961 like a sillyH6601 doveH3123, 6withoutH369 7senseH3820; They callH7121 to 8EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to 9AssyriaH804.12WhenH3512 they goH1980, I will 10spreadH6566 My netH7568 overH5921 them; I will bringH3381 them downH3381 like the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064. I will 11chastiseH3256 them in accordance with the 12proclamationH8088 to their assemblyH5712.13 13WoeH188 to them, for they have 14strayedH5074 from Me! DestructionH7701 is theirs, for they have rebelledH6586 against Me! I 15would redeemH6299 them, but they speakH1696 liesH3577 againstH5921 Me.14And 16they do not cryH2199 to Me from their heartH3820 WhenH3588 they wailH3213 on their bedsH4904; For the sakeH5921 of grainH1715 and newH8492 wineH8492 they 17 18assembleH1481 themselves, They 19turnH5493 awayH5493 from Me.15Although I trainedH3256 and strengthenedH2388 their armsH2220, Yet they 20deviseH2803 evilH7451 againstH413 Me.16They turnH7725, but not 21upwardH5920, They are like a 22deceitfulH7423 bowH7198; Their princesH8269 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719 BecauseH4480 of the 23 24insolenceH2195 of their tongueH3956. ThisH2097 will be their 25derisionH3933 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
