RF HOS 7:1 The Incurable Vices of Israel.
When Israel I would have cured,
The vices of Ephraim were found!
And Shomeron's sins that make falsehood;
For thieves are within;—robbers pillage outside!
RF HOS 7:2 Nor reflect in their heart I remember their crimes,
Tho' they wrap up their acts, from My face!
RF HOS 7:3 Their King loves their crimes, and their Princes are pleased!
RF HOS 7:4 They are like a baker, when heating his oven,
Only rest from their lust, as he rests from his kneading,
Until the dough swells up in ferment!
RF HOS 7:5 Daily fury of wine heats our Princes and King;—
He joins hands with the scoffers,
RF HOS 7:6 Whose heart like an oven is ready prepared,—
All night sleeps the Baker till morning,
But his fire still burns with a flickering flame.
RF HOS 7:7 So they burn as an oven, and devour their Judges,
Their Kings are all fallen,—none cried to Me for them!
RF HOS 7:8 Ephraim mixes himself with the pagans;
Ephraim is like to a cake never turned,—
RF HOS 7:9 Strangers suck out his strength, and he knows not!
He has sprinkled grey hairs, but he never perceives!
RF HOS 7:10 Israel's haughtiness shows in his face,
But they never will turn to the Life,
Nor for all this will seek for their God.
RF HOS 7:11 Ephraim has become like a dove,—
Without any heart in her fears;
To Egypt they cry, and to Ashur they go;—
RF HOS 7:12 As they fly I will throw My net for them,
Bring down like the birds from the skies;—
As their Senate has heard, I will punish!
RF HOS 7:13 Woe to them! wanderers from Me!
Alas for them! who revolted from Me!
When I rescued, about Me they lied!
RF HOS 7:14 They called not to Me from their hearts,
Altho' they have yelled on their beds!
They assemble for corn and for wine,
But rebel against Me!
RF HOS 7:15 If I weakened or strengthened their arms,
Yet they thought but of mischief for Me!
RF HOS 7:16 They do not rebound,—they are like worthless bows;
So their Princes shall fall by the sword,
Because of their swaggering tongues;
They are scorned in the country of Mitzer.
