Hosea 7:1-7
1When I would have healedH7495 IsraelH3478, then the iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 was discoveredH1540, and the wickednessH7451 of SamariaH8111: for they commitH6466 falsehoodH8267; and the thiefH1590 cometh inH935, and the troopH1416 of robbers spoilethH6584 withoutH2351.12
2And they considerH559 not in their heartsH3824 that I rememberH2142 all their wickednessH7451: now their own doingsH4611 have beset them aboutH5437; they are before my faceH6440.3
3They make the kingH4428 gladH8055 with their wickednessH7451, and the princesH8269 with their liesH3585.
4They are all adulterersH5003, as an ovenH8574 heatedH1197 by the bakerH644, who ceasethH7673 from raisingH5782 after he hath kneadedH3888 the doughH1217, until it be leavenedH2556.45
5In the dayH3117 of our kingH4428 the princesH8269 have made him sickH2470 with the poisonH2534 of wineH3196; he stretched outH4900 his handH3027 with scornersH3945.6
6For they have made readyH7126 their heartH3820 like an ovenH8574, whiles they lie in waitH693: their bakerH644 sleepethH3463 all the nightH3915; in the morningH1242 it burnethH1197 as a flamingH3852 fireH784.7
7They are all hotH2552 as an ovenH8574, and have devouredH398 their judgesH8199; all their kingsH4428 are fallenH5307: there is none among them that callethH7121 unto me.
