Iniquidad y rebelión de Israel
7 »Mientras yo sanaba a Israel, la iniquidad de Efraín y las maldades de Samaria quedaron al descubierto, pues incurrieron en un engaño. ¡Mientras los ladrones entran a la casa, afuera los salteadores asaltan! 2 No se pusieron a pensar que yo guardo en mi memoria toda su maldad. Pero ahora quedarán atrapados por sus malas obras, las cuales tengo muy presentes. 3 Al rey lo divierten con su maldad, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras. 4 Todos ellos son unos adúlteros. Son como un horno encendido, cuyo fuego no hace falta avivar desde que se hace la masa y hasta que ésta fermenta. 5 En las fiestas de nuestro rey, los príncipes se encienden con copas de vino, y el rey le tiende la mano a gente blasfema. 6 Su corazón es como un horno abierto; durante la noche languidece el fuego, pero a la mañana se aviva. 7 Todos ellos arden como un horno, y devoran a sus jueces; todos sus reyes fracasan, pero ninguno de ellos me pide ayuda.
8 »Efraín se ha mezclado con otros pueblos; es como una torta a medio cocer. 9 Gente extraña ha acabado con su fuerza, ¡y él ni cuenta se ha dado! Hasta canas le han salido, ¡pero él no se da por enterado! 10 La arrogancia de Israel lo desmiente en su propia cara, ¡y ni así se vuelve a mí, su Señor y Dios, ni me busca!
11 »Efraín es como una paloma ingenua y falta de entendimiento; ¡a Egipto le pide ayuda, pero recurre a Asiria! 12 Cuando vayan allá, les tenderé una red y haré que caigan como pájaros. Los castigaré como ya se ha anunciado en sus congregaciones. 13 ¡Ay de ellos, porque se apartaron de mí! ¡Les sobrevendrá la destrucción, porque se rebelaron contra mí! Yo los redimí, y ellos dijeron de mí puras mentiras. 14 No claman a mí de todo corazón, sino que gritan acostados en sus camas. Se juntan para el trigo y el vino, pero se rebelan contra mí. 15 Yo los he entrenado, he fortalecido sus brazos, pero ellos sólo intrigan contra mí. 16 Son como un arco engañoso, pues se vuelven, pero no hacía mí. Sus príncipes caen a filo de espada por la soberbia de su lengua, ¡y eso será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto!

7 y cuando yo sane a Israel,
la perversidad de Efraín y la maldad de Samaria
quedarán al descubierto.
Porque ellos cometen fraudes;
mientras el ladrón se mete en las casas,
una banda de salteadores roba en las calles.
2 No consideran en sus corazones[a]
que yo recuerdo todas sus maldades.
Sus malas acciones los tienen cercados,
siempre las tengo presentes.
3 »Con su maldad alegran al rey;
con sus mentiras, a los príncipes.
4 ¡Todos ellos son adúlteros!
Parecen un horno encendido
cuyo fuego no hace falta atizar
desde que el panadero prepara la harina hasta que la masa fermenta.
5 En el día de fiesta de nuestro rey,
los príncipes se encienden con el vino
y el rey da la mano a los burladores.
6 Sus corazones son como un horno,
mientras se acercan con intrigas.
Su ira se adormece por la noche,
pero se reaviva por la mañana.
7 Todos ellos arden como un horno
y devoran a sus gobernantes.
Caen todos sus reyes,
pero ninguno de ellos me invoca.
8 »Efraín se mezcla con las naciones;
parece una torta cocida de un solo lado.
9 Los extranjeros minan sus fuerzas,
pero él ni cuenta se da.
Su pelo se ha encanecido,
pero él ni cuenta se da.
10 La arrogancia de Israel testifica en su contra,
pero él no se vuelve al Señor su Dios;
a pesar de todo esto,
no lo busca.
11 »Efraín es como una paloma
torpe y sin entendimiento,
que unas veces pide ayuda a Egipto
y otras, recurre a Asiria.
12 Cuando vayan, lanzaré mi red sobre ellos;
los derribaré como a las aves del cielo
y cuando escuche que están juntos,
los atraparé.
13 ¡Ay de ellos,
que de mí se alejaron!
¡Destrucción vendrá sobre ellos
por rebelarse contra mí!
Yo bien podría redimirlos,
pero ellos mienten sobre mí.
14 No me invocan de corazón,
sino que se lamentan echados en sus camas.
Para obtener grano y vino nuevo
se laceran[b]
y se ponen en mi contra.
15 Yo adiestré y fortalecí sus brazos,
pero ellos maquinan maldades contra mí.
16 No se vuelven al Altísimo;
son como un arco engañoso.
Sus líderes caerán a filo de espada
por sus palabras insolentes.
Y en la tierra de Egipto
se burlarán de ellos.

Israel’s Corruption
7 Whenever I want to heal Israel,
the guilt of Ephraim is uncovered,
and the evil deeds of Samaria are exposed,
because they deal dishonestly.
Thieves come inside,
and bandits raid outside.
2 In their hearts Ephraim does not realize that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds are all around them.
They are in front of my face.
3 The people of Ephraim make the king glad with their wickedness.
They make their officials happy with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers,
burning like an oven.
The baker does not need to stoke the fire
from the time the dough is kneaded until it is leavened.
5 On the day[a] of our[b] king, the officials became sick from the intoxicating wine.
He reaches out his hand to the blasphemers.
6 Indeed, their hearts are like an oven.
They approach him, while plotting against him.
Their anger sleeps all night,
but in the morning it burns like a blazing fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven.
They devour their rulers.
All their kings have fallen.
Not one of them calls on me.
8 Ephraim mixes itself with the nations.
Ephraim is a flatbread not turned over.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength,
but he does not realize it.
There are gray hairs on his head,
but he does not realize it.
10 The arrogance of Israel testifies against him,
yet they have not returned to the Lord their God,
and they have not sought him, despite all this.
Israel’s Instability
11 Ephraim is like a gullible dove, without sense.
They call to Egypt.
Then they appeal to Assyria.
12 When they go out, I will spread my net over them.
I will bring them down like birds from the sky.
I will discipline them, on the basis of the report about their assembly.[c]
13 Woe to them,
because they have strayed from me!
Destruction comes upon them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I want to redeem them,
but they speak lies against me.
14 They do not cry out to me with their hearts,
but they howl on their beds.
They gather together[d] for grain and new wine.
They turn away from me.
15 Though I trained and strengthened their arms,
they plot evil against me.
16 They return, but not upward.[e]
They are like an unreliable bow.
Their officials will fall by the sword because of their angry tongues.
Because of this, they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.

7 1 whenever I would heal Israel,
the sins of Ephraim are exposed
and the crimes of Samaria revealed.(A)
They practice deceit,(B)
thieves break into houses,(C)
bandits rob in the streets;(D)
2 but they do not realize
that I remember(E) all their evil deeds.(F)
Their sins engulf them;(G)
they are always before me.
3 “They delight the king with their wickedness,
the princes with their lies.(H)
4 They are all adulterers,(I)
burning like an oven
whose fire the baker need not stir
from the kneading of the dough till it rises.
5 On the day of the festival of our king
the princes become inflamed with wine,(J)
and he joins hands with the mockers.(K)
6 Their hearts are like an oven;(L)
they approach him with intrigue.
Their passion smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven;
they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,(M)
and none of them calls(N) on me.
8 “Ephraim mixes(O) with the nations;
Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over.
9 Foreigners sap his strength,(P)
but he does not realize it.
His hair is sprinkled with gray,
but he does not notice.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against him,(Q)
but despite all this
he does not return(R) to the Lord his God
or search(S) for him.
11 “Ephraim is like a dove,(T)
easily deceived and senseless—
now calling to Egypt,(U)
now turning to Assyria.(V)
12 When they go, I will throw my net(W) over them;
I will pull them down like the birds in the sky.
When I hear them flocking together,
I will catch them.
13 Woe(X) to them,
because they have strayed(Y) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(Z) falsely.(AA)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(AB)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(AC)
but they turn away from me.(AD)
15 I trained(AE) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(AF) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(AG)
they are like a faulty bow.(AH)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(AI) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(AJ)
in the land of Egypt.(AK)

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.
