Hosea 7:1

1When I would heal Israel,

The sin (guilt) of Ephraim is uncovered,

And the wickedness of 7:1 Samaria became the capital city of the Kingdom of Israel (the ten northern tribes) during the reign of King Omri (see 1 Kin 16:24).Samaria,

Because they practice false dealing;

The thief enters,

Bandits ravage and raid outside.
