Israel's Love for Wickedness
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 7
|
|
1. "I want to heal Israel, but its sins are too great.
|
|
Samaria is filled with liars.
|
|
Thieves are on the inside
|
|
and bandits on the outside!
|
|
|
|
2. Its people don't realize
|
|
that I am watching them.
|
|
Their sinful deeds are all around them,
|
|
and I see them all.
|
|
|
|
3. "The people entertain the king with their wickedness,
|
|
and the princes laugh at their lies.
|
|
|
|
4. They are all adulterers,
|
|
always aflame with lust.
|
|
They are like an oven that is kept hot
|
|
while the baker is kneading the dough.
|
|
|
|
5. On royal holidays, the princes get drunk with wine,
|
|
carousing with those who mock them.
|
|
|
|
6. Their hearts are like an oven
|
|
blazing with intrigue.
|
|
Their plot smolders through the night,
|
|
and in the morning it breaks out like a raging fire.
|
|
|
|
7. Burning like an oven,
|
|
they consume their leaders.
|
|
They kill their kings one after another,
|
|
and no one cries to me for help.
|
|
|
|
8. "The people of Israel mingle with godless foreigners,
|
|
making themselves as worthless as a half-baked cake!
|
|
|
|
9. Worshiping foreign gods has sapped their strength,
|
|
but they don't even know it.
|
|
Their hair is gray,
|
|
but they don't realize they're old and weak.
|
|
|
|
10. Their arrogance testifies against them,
|
|
yet they don't return to the LORD their God
|
|
or even try to find him.
|
|
|
|
11. "The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves,
|
|
first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria for help.
|
|
|
|
12. But as they fly about,
|
|
I will throw my net over them
|
|
and bring them down like a bird from the sky.
|
|
I will punish them for all the evil they do.
|
|
|
|
13. "What sorrow awaits those who have deserted me!
|
|
Let them die, for they have rebelled against me.
|
|
I wanted to redeem them,
|
|
but they have told lies about me.
|
|
|
|
14. They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts.
|
|
Instead, they sit on their couches and wail.
|
|
They cut themselves, begging foreign gods for grain and new wine,
|
|
and they turn away from me.
|
|
|
|
15. I trained them and made them strong,
|
|
yet now they plot evil against me.
|
|
|
|
16. They look everywhere except to the Most High.
|
|
They are as useless as a crooked bow.
|
|
Their leaders will be killed by their enemies
|
|
because of their insolence toward me.
|
|
Then the people of Egypt
|
|
will laugh at them.
