Hosea 7:12 Context
10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this. 11¶ Ephraim also is like a silly doue, without heart: they call to Egypt; they goe to Assyria. 12When they shall goe, I wil spread my net vpon them, I will bring them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastise them as their congregation hath heard. 13Woe vnto them, for they haue fled from me: destruction vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me, though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lies against me. 14And they haue not cryed vnto me with their heart, when they howled vpon their beds: they assemble themselues for corne and wine, and they rebell against me.
