rsv@Hosea:7:10 @ The pride of Israel witnesses against him; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this.
rsv@Hosea:7:11 @ E'phraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
rsv@Hosea:7:12 @ As they go, I will spread over them my net; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them for their wicked deeds.
rsv@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against me.
rsv@Hosea:7:14 @ They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves, they rebel against me.
rsv@Hosea:7:15 @ Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.
rsv@Hosea:7:16 @ They turn to Ba'al; they are like a treacherous bow, their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
