Hosea 7:1-3
Easy-to-Read Version
7 “I will heal Israel!
Then people will know that Ephraim sinned.
They will know about Samaria’s[a] lies.
They will know about the thieves who come and go in that town.
2 They don’t believe that I will remember their crimes.
The bad things they did are all around.
I can see their sins clearly.
3 Their evil makes their king happy.
Their false gods please their leaders.
