Hosea 7:1-3

International Standard Version

7 “When I was healing Israel,
Ephraim’s sin was uncovered,
        along with Samaria’s wickedness.
While they craft lying schemes,
    the thief invades,
        and the gang of thieves plunders outside.
² It never occurs to them that I remember all their sin.
    Now their actions have caught up with them,
        and they have my attention.^[a]
3 They please the king with their evil,
    and the princes with their dishonesty.
