Hosea 7:8-16

8EphraimH669, he mixeth himselfH1931 among the peoplesH5971; EphraimH669 is a cakeH5692 notH1961 turnedH2015. 9StrangersH2114 have devouredH398 his strengthH3581, and he knoweth it notH3808: yea, grayH7872 hairsH7872 are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it notH3808. 10And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: yet they have notH3808 returnedH7725 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430, norH3808 soughtH1245 him, for allH3605 this. 11And EphraimH669 is like a silly doveH3123, withoutH369 understandingH3820: they callH7121 unto EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to AssyriaH804. 12When they shall goH3381, I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 uponH5921 them; I will bringH3381 them downH3381 as the fowls of the heavenH8064: I will chastiseH3256 them, as their congregationH5712 hath heard. 13WoeH188 unto them! for they have wandered from meH5921; destructionH7701 unto them! for they have trespassed againstH5921 meH5921: thoughH3588 I would redeemH6299 them, yet they have spokenH1696 liesH3577 againstH5921 meH5921. 14And they have notH3808 criedH2199 unto meH413 with their heartH3820, but they howlH3213 uponH5921 their bedsH4904: they assemble themselvesH5921 for corn and wineH8492, they rebel againstH5921 meH413. 15Though I have taughtH3256 and strengthenedH2388 their armsH2220, yet doH589 they imagine mischief againstH413 meH413. 16They returnH7725, but notH3808 to him that is on highH5920; they are like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198: their princesH8269 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 for the rageH2195 of their tongueH3956: this shall be their derisionH3933 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
