7:1 When I would have healed 7495 8800 Israel 3478, then the iniquity 5771 of Ephraim 669 was discovered 1540 8738, and the wickedness 7451 of Samaria 8111: for they commit 6466 8804 falsehood 8267; and the thief 1590 cometh in 935 8799, [and] the troop 1416 of robbers spoileth 6584 8804 without 2351.(wickedness: Heb. evils)(spoileth: Heb. strippeth)

7:2 And they consider 559 8799 not in their hearts 3824 [that] I remember 2142 8804 all their wickedness 7451: now their own doings 4611 have beset them about 5437 8804; they are before my face 6440.(consider…: Heb. say not to)

7:3 They make the king 4428 glad 8055 8762 with their wickedness 7451, and the princes 8269 with their lies 3585.

7:4 They [are] all adulterers 5003 8764, as an oven 8574 heated 1197 8802 by the baker 644 8802, [who] ceaseth 7673 8799 from raising 5782 8800 after he hath kneaded 3888 8800 the dough 1217, until it be leavened 2556 8800.(who…: or, the raiser will cease)(raising: or, waking)

7:5 In the day 3117 of our king 4428 the princes 8269 have made [him] sick 2470 8689 with bottles 2534 of wine 3196; he stretched out 4900 8804 his hand 3027 with scorners 3945 8802.(bottles…: or, heat through wine)

7:6 For they have made ready 7126 8765 their heart 3820 like an oven 8574, whiles they lie in wait 693 8800: their baker 644 8802 sleepeth 3463 all the night 3915; in the morning 1242 it burneth 1197 8802 as a flaming 3852 fire 784.(made…: or, applied)

7:7 They are all hot 2552 8735 as an oven 8574, and have devoured 398 8804 their judges 8199 8802; all their kings 4428 are fallen 5307 8804: [there is] none among them that calleth 7121 8802 unto me.

7:8 Ephraim 669, he hath mixed 1101 8704 himself among the people 5971; Ephraim 669 is a cake 5692 not turned 2015 8803.

7:9 Strangers 2114 8801 have devoured 398 8804 his strength 3581, and he knoweth 3045 8804 [it] not: yea, gray hairs 7872 are here and there 2236 8804 upon him, yet he knoweth 3045 8804 not.(here…: Heb. sprinkled)

7:10 And the pride 1347 of Israel 3478 testifieth 6030 8804 to his face 6440: and they do not return 7725 8804 to the LORD 3068 their God 430, nor seek 1245 8765 him for all this.

7:11 Ephraim 669 also is like a silly 6601 8802 dove 3123 without heart 3820: they call 7121 8804 to Egypt 4714, they go 1980 8804 to Assyria 804.

7:12 When they shall go 3212 8799, I will spread 6566 8799 my net 7568 upon them; I will bring them down 3381 8686 as the fowls 5775 of the heaven 8064; I will chastise 3256 8686 them, as their congregation 5712 hath heard 8088.

7:13 Woe 188 unto them! for they have fled 5074 8804 from me: destruction 7701 unto them! because they have transgressed 6586 8804 against me: though I have redeemed 6299 8799 them, yet they have spoken 1696 8765 lies 3577 against me.(destruction: Heb. spoil)

7:14 And they have not cried 2199 8804 unto me with their heart 3820, when they howled 3213 8686 upon their beds 4904: they assemble 1481 8709 themselves for corn 1715 and wine 8492, [and] they rebel 5493 8799 against me.

7:15 Though I have bound 3256 8765 [and] strengthened 2388 8765 their arms 2220, yet do they imagine 2803 8762 mischief 7451 against me.(have…: or, chastened)

7:16 They return 7725 8799, [but] not to the most High 5920: they are like a deceitful 7423 bow 7198: their princes 8269 shall fall 5307 8799 by the sword 2719 for the rage 2195 of their tongue 3956: this 2097 [shall be] their derision 3933 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
