Hosea 7:1

Ephraim's Guilt

¹ When I would heal Israel,
The iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they deal falsely;
The thief enters in,
Bandits raid outside,
² And they do not consider in their hearts
That I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds are all around them;
They are before My face.
