Hosea 7

The Message Bible MSG

1 "Every time I gave Israel a fresh start, wiped the slate clean and got them going again, Ephraim soon filled the slate with new sins, the treachery of Samaria written out in bold print. Two-faced and double-tongued, they steal you blind, pick you clean.

2 It never crosses their mind that I keep account of their every crime. They're mud-spattered head to toe with the residue of sin. I see who they are and what they've done.

3 "They entertain the king with their evil circus, delight the princes with their acrobatic lies.

4 They're a bunch of overheated adulterers, like an oven that holds its heat From the kneading of the dough to the rising of the bread.

5 On the royal holiday the princes get drunk on wine and the frenzy of the mocking mob.

6 They're like wood stoves, red-hot with lust. Through the night their passion is banked; in the morning it blazes up, flames hungrily licking.

7 Murderous and volcanic, they incinerate their rulers. Their kings fall one by one, and no one pays any attention to me.

8 "Ephraim mingles with the pagans, dissipating himself. Ephraim is half-baked.

9 Strangers suck him dry but he doesn't even notice. His hair has turned gray - he doesn't notice.

10 Bloated by arrogance, big as a house, Israel's a public disgrace. Israel lumbers along oblivious to God, despite all the signs, ignoring God.

11 "Ephraim is bird-brained, mindless, clueless, First chirping after Egypt, then fluttering after Assyria.

12 I'll throw my net over them. I'll clip their wings. I'll teach them to mind me!

13 Doom! They've run away from home. Now they're really in trouble! They've defied me. And I'm supposed to help them while they feed me a line of lies?

14 Instead of crying out to me in heartfelt prayer, they whoop it up in bed with their whores, Gash themselves bloody in their sex-and-religion orgies, but turn their backs on me.

15 I'm the one who gave them good minds and healthy bodies, and how am I repaid? With evil scheming!

16 They turn, but not to me - turn here, then there, like a weather vane. Their rulers will be cut down, murdered - just deserts for their mocking blasphemies. And the final sentence? Ridicule in the court of world opinion.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 cum sanare vellem Israhel revelata est iniquitas Ephraim et malitia Samariae quia operati sunt mendacium et fur ingressus est spolians latrunculus foris

2 et ne forte dicant in cordibus suis omnem malitiam eorum me recordatum nunc circumdederunt eos adinventiones suae coram facie mea factae sunt

3 in malitia sua laetificaverunt regem et in mendaciis suis principes

4 omnes adulterantes quasi clibanus succensus a coquente quievit paululum civitas a commixtione fermenti donec fermentaretur totum

5 dies regis nostri coeperunt principes furere a vino extendit manum suam cum inlusoribus

6 quia adplicuerunt quasi clibanum cor suum cum insidiaretur eis tota nocte dormivit coquens eos mane ipse succensus quasi ignis flammae

7 omnes calefacti sunt quasi clibanus et devoraverunt iudices suos omnes reges eorum ceciderunt non est qui clamet in eis ad me

8 Ephraim in populis ipse commiscebatur Ephraim factus est subcinericius qui non reversatur

9 comederunt alieni robur eius et ipse nescivit sed et cani effusi sunt in eo et ipse ignoravit

10 et humiliabitur superbia Israhel in facie eius nec reversi sunt ad Dominum Deum suum et non quaesierunt eum in omnibus his

11 et factus est Ephraim quasi columba seducta non habens cor Aegyptum invocabant ad Assyrios abierunt

12 et cum profecti fuerint expandam super eos rete meum quasi volucrem caeli detraham eos caedam eos secundum auditionem coetus eorum

13 vae eis quoniam recesserunt a me vastabuntur quia praevaricati sunt in me et ego redemi eos et ipsi locuti sunt contra me mendacia

14 et non clamaverunt ad me in corde suo sed ululabant in cubilibus suis super triticum et vinum ruminabant recesserunt a me

15 et ego erudivi et confortavi brachia eorum et in me cogitaverunt malitiam

16 reversi sunt ut essent absque iugo facti sunt quasi arcus dolosus cadent in gladio principes eorum a furore linguae suae ista subsannatio eorum in terra Aegypti
