Hosea 7:1

Read in context

Hosea 7:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.

2 But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.

3 They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.
