何西阿书 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
7 每当我要医治以色列的时候，
却看见以法莲的罪，撒玛利亚[a]的恶。
他们行事诡诈；
盗贼进屋偷窃，强盗外出抢劫。
2 他们没有想到我记得他们的所有恶行。
如今他们的罪恶环绕他们，
都暴露在我面前。
3 他们以罪恶取悦君王，
以谎言讨好首领。
4 他们都是通奸之徒[b]，
就像热烘烘的烤炉，
从揉面到面团发起，
烤饼的人不用挑炉火。
5 君王宴乐的时候，
首领们醉酒成病，
君王也与轻慢上帝的人联手。
6 他们的心如烤炉，燃烧着阴谋。
他们的怒气如整夜闷烧的炉火，
早晨爆发出熊熊烈焰。
7 他们像炙热的烤炉，
吞灭他们的首领。
他们的君王都倒地而亡，
没有一个向我求救。
8 “以法莲与外族人混杂，
就像没有翻过的饼[c]。
9 外族人耗尽了他的力量，
他却茫然不知。
他头发斑白，
却浑然不觉。
10 以色列人被自己的傲慢指控，
他们却不归向他们的上帝耶和华，
也不去寻求祂。
11 以法莲像鸽子一样愚蠢无知，
他们向埃及求救，又投奔亚述。
12 他们去的时候，
我要张网网住他们，
我要像打落飞鸟一样打落他们。
我要按他们的恶行[d]惩罚他们。
13 他们有祸了，
因为他们背弃我！
他们要被毁灭了，
因为他们背叛我！
我要救赎他们，
他们却向我撒谎。
14 他们没有真心呼求我，
只是在床上哭号。
他们为求五谷和新酒而割伤自己，
却背弃了我。
15 我训练他们，使他们臂膀强壮，
他们却阴谋作恶抗拒我。
16 他们回转，却不肯转向至高者，
他们就像无用的断弓。
他们的首领要因出言狂妄而丧身刀下，
成为埃及人的笑柄。
Hosea 7
King James Version
7 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
