Oseas 7
Biblia del Jubileo
7 Estando yo curando a Israel, se descubrió la iniquidad de Efraín, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño; y viene el ladrón, y el salteador despoja de fuera.
2 Y no dicen en su corazón que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad; ahora los rodearán sus obras; delante de mi presencia están.
3 Con su maldad alegran al rey, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
4 Todos ellos adúlteros; son como horno encendido por el hornero, el cual cesará de despertar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leudada.
5 El día de nuestro Rey los príncipes lo hicieron enfermar con odre de vino; extendió su mano con los escarnecedores.
6 Porque aplicaron su corazón, semejante a un horno, en sus asechanzas; toda la noche duerme su hornero; a la mañana está su horno encendido como llama de fuego.
7 Todos ellos arden como un horno, y devoraron a sus jueces; cayeron todos sus reyes; no hay entre ellos quien clame a mí.
8 Efraín se envolvió con los pueblos; Efraín fue torta no vuelta.
9 Comieron extraños su sustancia, y él no lo supo; y aun vejez se ha esparcido por él, y él no lo entendió.
10 Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara; y no se tornaron al SEÑOR su Dios, ni lo buscaron con todo esto.
11 Y fue Efraín como paloma engañada, sin entendimiento; llamarán a Egipto, acudirán al asirio.
12 Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red; los haré caer como aves del cielo; los castigaré conforme a lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
13 ¡Ay de ellos! Porque se apartaron de mí; destrucción sobre ellos, porque contra mí se rebelaron; yo los rescaté, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
14 Y no clamaron a mí con su corazón cuando aullaron sobre sus camas; para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron; se rebelaron contra mí.
15 Y yo los ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
16 Se tornaron, mas no al Altísimo; fueron como arco engañoso; cayeron sus príncipes a espada por la soberbia de su lengua; éste será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
Hosea 7
New International Version
7 1 whenever I would heal Israel,
the sins of Ephraim are exposed
and the crimes of Samaria revealed.(A)
They practice deceit,(B)
thieves break into houses,(C)
bandits rob in the streets;(D)
2 but they do not realize
that I remember(E) all their evil deeds.(F)
Their sins engulf them;(G)
they are always before me.
3 “They delight the king with their wickedness,
the princes with their lies.(H)
4 They are all adulterers,(I)
burning like an oven
whose fire the baker need not stir
from the kneading of the dough till it rises.
5 On the day of the festival of our king
the princes become inflamed with wine,(J)
and he joins hands with the mockers.(K)
6 Their hearts are like an oven;(L)
they approach him with intrigue.
Their passion smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven;
they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,(M)
and none of them calls(N) on me.
8 “Ephraim mixes(O) with the nations;
Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over.
9 Foreigners sap his strength,(P)
but he does not realize it.
His hair is sprinkled with gray,
but he does not notice.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against him,(Q)
but despite all this
he does not return(R) to the Lord his God
or search(S) for him.
11 “Ephraim is like a dove,(T)
easily deceived and senseless—
now calling to Egypt,(U)
now turning to Assyria.(V)
12 When they go, I will throw my net(W) over them;
I will pull them down like the birds in the sky.
When I hear them flocking together,
I will catch them.
13 Woe(X) to them,
because they have strayed(Y) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(Z) falsely.(AA)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(AB)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(AC)
but they turn away from me.(AD)
15 I trained(AE) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(AF) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(AG)
they are like a faulty bow.(AH)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(AI) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(AJ)
in the land of Egypt.(AK)

Hosea 7
English Standard Version
7 (A)when I would heal Israel,
the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,
and the evil deeds of (B)Samaria,
for (C)they deal falsely;
the thief breaks in,
and the bandits raid outside.
2 But they do not consider
that (D)I remember all their evil.
Now (E)their deeds surround them;
(F)they are before my face.
3 By their evil (G)they make (H)the king glad,
and the princes by their treachery.
4 (I)They are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.
5 On the day of (J)our king, the princes
became sick with the heat of wine;
he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6 For with hearts like an oven (K)they approach their intrigue;
all night their anger smolders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All (L)their kings (M)have fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.
8 Ephraim (N)mixes himself with the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 (O)Strangers devour his strength,
and (P)he knows it not;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
and (Q)he knows it not.
10 (R)The pride of Israel testifies to his face;[a]
(S)yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
nor seek him, for all this.
11 Ephraim is like a dove,
(T)silly and without sense,
calling to (U)Egypt, going to (V)Assyria.
12 As they go, (W)I will spread over them my net;
I will bring them down like birds of the heavens;
(X)I will discipline them (Y)according to the report made to their congregation.
13 (Z)Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
(AA)I would redeem them,
but (AB)they speak lies against me.
14 (AC)They do not cry to me from the heart,
but (AD)they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
they rebel against me.
15 Although (AE)I trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they devise evil against me.
16 They (AF)return, but not upward;[b]
they are (AG)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
because of (AH)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (AI)in the land of Egypt.
