When I would heal Israel, Hos 7:13Hos 6:4Mic 7:3-7Hos 4:2Jer 9:2-6Luk 13:34Luk 19:42Mat 23:37
then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
also the wickedness of Samaria;
for they commit falsehood,
and the thief enters in,
and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Luk 12:2Amo 8:7Jer 14:10Jer 2:19Psa 90:81Co 4:5Heb 4:13Hos 9:9
Now their own deeds have engulfed them.
They are before my face.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, Rom 1:32Mic 7:3Jer 28:1-41Jn 4:51Ki 22:131Ki 22:6Amo 7:10-13Hos 4:2
and the princes with their lies.
They are all adulterers. Jer 9:2Jas 4:4Jer 5:7-8Hos 4:12Hos 4:2Hos 7:6-7
They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring,
from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. 1Pe 4:3-4Isa 28:1Dan 5:23Eph 5:18Gen 40:20Psa 1:11Ki 13:4Dan 5:1-4
He joined his hand with mockers.
For they have prepared their heart like an oven, Mic 2:1Psa 10:8-91Sa 19:11-152Sa 13:28-29Hos 7:4Hos 7:7Pro 4:16Psa 21:9
while they lie in wait.
Their anger smolders all night.
In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
They are all hot as an oven, 2Ki 15:102Ki 15:142Ki 15:252Ki 15:30Hos 7:10Hos 8:4Isa 43:22Isa 64:7
and devour their judges.
All their kings have fallen.
There is no one among them who calls to me.
Ephraim mixes himself among the nations. Psa 106:35Ezr 9:12Neh 13:23-25Ezr 9:1Mal 2:111Ki 18:21Hos 5:13Hos 5:7
Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
Strangers have devoured his strength, Hos 8:7Isa 42:22-252Ki 13:222Ki 13:3-7Isa 1:7Pro 23:352Ki 15:19Isa 57:1
and he doesn’t realize it.
Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him,
and he doesn’t realize it.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; Hos 5:5Isa 9:13Amo 4:6-13Psa 53:2Hos 6:1Hos 7:7Jer 25:5-7Jer 3:3
yet they haven’t returned to the LORD their God,
nor sought him, for all this.
“Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. Hos 12:1Hos 5:13Hos 11:11Hos 4:11Jer 2:18Hos 9:3Pro 6:322Ki 15:19
They call to Egypt.
They go to Assyria.
When they go, I will spread my net on them. Ezk 12:13Deu 28:15-68Deu 29:22-282Ki 17:13-18Deu 31:16-29Deu 32:15-43Ecc 9:12Ezk 17:20
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Woe to them! Hos 9:12Hos 11:12Lam 5:16Mat 23:13-291Jn 1:101Pe 1:18-19Deu 15:15Ezk 16:23
For they have wandered from me.
Destruction to them!
For they have trespassed against me.
Though I would redeem them,
yet they have spoken lies against me.
They haven’t cried to me with their heart, Jas 4:3Job 35:9-10Jer 3:10Psa 78:34-37Amo 2:8Isa 29:13Mic 2:11Php 3:19
but they howl on their beds.
They assemble themselves for grain and new wine.
They turn away from me.
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, Nam 1:9Psa 94:122Co 10:52Ki 13:232Ki 14:25-27Act 4:25Heb 12:5Jer 17:9
yet they plot evil against me.
They return, but not to the Most High. Psa 78:57Hos 9:3Ezk 23:32Psa 73:9Hos 9:6Mat 12:36Psa 12:42Pe 2:8
They are like a faulty bow.
Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
