TSK · Hosea 7:2

I wish that they were wise and could understand this, and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”

For his eyes are on the ways of an individual, he observes all a person’s steps.

He says to himself,“God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”

Carefully consider this, you who reject God! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you.

For the ways of a person are in front of the LORD’s eyes, and the LORD weighs all that person’s paths.

They have stringed instruments, tambourines, flutes, and wine at their parties. So they do not recognize what the LORD is doing, they do not perceive what he is bringing about.

No one thinks to himself, nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:‘I burned half of it in the fire– yes, I baked bread over the coals; I roasted meat and ate it. With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol? Should I bow down to dry wood?’

“The way you have lived and the things you have done will bring this on you. This is the punishment you deserve, and it will be painful indeed. The pain will be so bad it will pierce your heart.”

For I see everything they do. Their wicked ways are not hidden from me. Their sin is not hidden away where I cannot see it.

while seeing false visions for you and reading lying omens for you– to place that sword on the necks of the profane wicked, whose day has come, the time of final punishment.

They offer up sacrificial gifts to me, and eat the meat, but the LORD does not accept their sacrifices. Soon he will remember their wrongdoing, he will punish their sins, and they will return to Egypt.

The LORD confirms this oath by the arrogance of Jacob:“I swear I will never forget all you have done!

So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition from God.
