| 7:1 | 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. |
| 7:2 | 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. |
| 7:3 | They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. |
| 7:4 | 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. |
| 7:5 | In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. |
| 7:6 | 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. |
| 7:7 | 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. |
| 7:8 | Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. |
| 7:9 | Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. |
| 7:10 | 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. |
| 7:11 | Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. |
| 7:11 | 以法蓮好像鴿子愚蠢無知、他們求告埃及、投奔亞述。 |
| 7:11 | 以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知。他们求告埃及，投奔亚述。 |
| hos:11:11 | They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD. |
| 2ki:15:19 | And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. |
| 2ki:17:4 | And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. |
| hos:5:13 | When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. |

| 7:12 | 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. |
| 7:13 | 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. |
| 7:14 | 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. |
| 7:15 | Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. |
| 7:16 | 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. |
