TSK · Hosea 7:13

Now these [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

¶ Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

¶ Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

¶ But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.

For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

¶ Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for [then] had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

¶ Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken [so much] against thee?

‹O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,› [thou] ‹that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under› [her] ‹wings, and ye would not!›

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
