7
All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All 1their kings 2have fallen, and none of them calls upon me.
8
Ephraim 3mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
94Strangers devour his strength, and 5he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and 6he knows it not.
107The pride of Israel testifies to his face;a8yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this.
11
Ephraim is like a dove, 9silly and without sense, calling to 10Egypt, going to 11Assyria.
12
As they go, 12I will spread over them my net; I will bring them down like birds of the heavens; 13I will discipline them 14according to the report made to their congregation.
1315Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! 16I would redeem them, but 17they speak lies against me.
1418They do not cry to me from the heart, but 19they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves; they rebel against me.
15
Although 20I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.
16
They 21return, but not upward;b they are 22like a treacherous bow; their princes shall fall by the sword because of 23the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision 24in the land of Egypt.

Oséias 7:7
Eles estão todos quentes como um forno, e devoram os seus juízes; todos os seus reis caem; ninguém entre eles há que me invoque.
