NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hosea 7

Ephraim's Iniquity

1

When I  awould healh7495 Israelh3478, The iniquityh5771 of Ephraimh669 is uncoveredh1540, And the evilh7463a deedsh7463a of Samariah8111, For they dealh6466  bfalselyh8267; The thiefh1590 entersh935 in,  cBanditsh1416 raidh6584 outsideh2351,

2

And they do not  1considerh559 in their heartsh3824 That I  arememberh2142 allh3605 their wickednessh7463a. Nowh6258 their  bdeedsh4611 are allh5437 aroundh5437 them; They are beforeh5048 My faceh6440.

3

 aWith their wickednessh7463a they makeh8055 the  bkingh4428 gladh8055, And the princesh8269 with their  cliesh3585.

4

They are  aallh3605 adulterersh5003, Likeh3644 an ovenh8574 heatedh1197a by the bakerh644 Who ceasesh7673a to stirh5782 up the fire From the kneadingh3888 of the doughh1217 untilh5704 it is leavenedh2556a.

5

On the  1dayh3117 of our kingh4428, the princesh8269  abecameh2470a sickh2470a with the heath2534 of wineh3196; He stretchedh4900 out his handh3027 with  bscoffersh3917b,

6

For their heartsh3820 are like an  aovenh8574 As they approachh7126 their  1plottingh696; Their  2angerh644  3smoldersh3463 allh3605 nighth3915, In the morningh1242 it burnsh1197a like a flamingh3852 fireh784.

7

Allh3605 of them are hoth2552 like an ovenh8574, And they consumeh398 their  arulersh8199; Allh3605 their kingsh4428 have fallenh5307.  bNoneh369 of them callsh7121 on Me.

8

Ephraimh669  amixesh1101a himselfh1931 with the  1nationsh5971a; Ephraimh669 has becomeh1961 a cakeh5692 not turnedh2015.

9

 aStrangersh2114a devourh398 his strengthh3581b, Yet he  bdoes not knowh3045 it; Grayh7872 hairsh7872 alsoh1571 are sprinkledh2236b on him, Yet he does not knowh3045 it.

10

Though the  aprideh1347b of Israelh3478 testifiesh6030a againsth6440 him, Yet  bthey have not returnedh7725 to the LORDh3068 their Godh430, Norh3808 have they soughth1245 Him, for allh3605 thish2088.

11

So  aEphraimh669 has becomeh1961 like a sillyh6601b doveh3123,  bwithouth369  1senseh3820; They callh7121 to  cEgypth4714, they goh1980 to  dAssyriah804b.

12

Whenh3512c they goh1980, I will  aspreadh6566 My neth7568 overh5921 them; I will bringh3381 them downh3381 like the birdsh5775 of the skyh8064. I will  bchastiseh3256 them in accordance with the  1proclamationh8088 to their assemblyh5712.

13

 aWoeh188 to them, for they have  bstrayedh5074 from Me! Destructionh7701 is theirs, for they have rebelledh6586 against Me! I  cwould redeemh6299 them, but they speakh1696 liesh3577 againsth5921 Me.

14

And  athey do not cryh2199 to Me from their hearth3820 Whenh3588 they wailh3213 on their bedsh4904; For the sakeh5921 of grainh1715 and newh8492 wineh8492 they  1 bassembleh1481a themselves, They  cturnh5493 awayh5493 from Me.

15

Although I trainedh3256 and strengthenedh2388 their armsh2220, Yet they  adeviseh2803 evilh7451b againsth413 Me.

16

They turnh7725, but not  1upwardh5920, They are like a  adeceitfulh7423a bowh7198; Their princesh8269 will fallh5307 by the swordh2719 Becauseh4480 of the  2 binsolenceh2195 of their tongueh3956. Thish2097 will be their  cderisionh3933 in the landh776 of Egypth4714.
