Oseas 7
Nueva Versión Internacional
    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.
Hosea 7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 
    the corruption of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the wicked deeds of Samaria,
for they deal falsely;
    the thief breaks in,
    and the bandits raid outside.(A)
2 But they do not consider
    that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them;
    they are before my face.(B)
3 By their wickedness they make the king glad,
    and the officials by their treachery.
4 They are all adulterers;
    they are like a heated oven
whose baker does not need to stir the fire
    from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.(C)
5 On the day of our king the officials
    became sick with the heat of wine;
    he stretched out his hand with mockers.(D)
6 For they are kindled[a] like an oven; their heart burns within them;
    all night their anger smolders;
    in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
    and they devour their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
    none of them calls upon me.(E)
8 Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;
    Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Foreigners devour his strength,
    but he does not know it;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
    but he does not know it.(F)
10 Israel’s pride testifies against[b] him;
    yet they do not return to the Lord their God
    or seek him, for all this.(G)
Futile Reliance on the Nations
11 Ephraim has become like a dove,
    silly and without sense;
    they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.(H)
12 As they go, I will cast my net over them;
    I will bring them down like birds of the air;
    I will discipline them according to the report made to their assembly.[c](I)
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
    Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
I would redeem them,
    but they speak lies against me.(J)
14 They do not cry to me from the heart,
    but they wail upon their beds;
they gash themselves for grain and wine;
    they rebel against me.(K)
15 It was I who trained and strengthened their arms,
    yet they plot evil against me.(L)
16 They turn to that which does not profit;[d]
    they have become like a defective bow;
their officials shall fall by the sword
    because of the rage of their tongue.
So much for their babbling in the land of Egypt.(M)
Hosea 7
New International Version
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)
