Hosea 7:3 in context

Hosea 7:1–6

1

When I would heal Israel,

then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,

also the wickedness of Samaria;

for they commit falsehood,

and the thief enters in,

and the gang of robbers ravages outside.

2

They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness.

Now their own deeds have engulfed them.

They are before my face.

3
Selected verse

They make the king glad with their wickedness,

and the princes with their lies.

4

They are all adulterers.

They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring,

from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.

5

On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine.

He joined his hand with mockers.

6

For they have prepared their heart like an oven,

while they lie in wait.

Their anger smolders all night.

In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
