When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.
Hosea 7:1 · BBE
When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without.

Ενω ιατρευον τον Ισραηλ, απεκαλυφθη τοτε η ανομια του Εφραιμ και η κακια της Σαμαρειας· διοτι επραξαν ψευδος· και ο κλεπτης εισερχεται, ο ληστης γυμνονει εξωθεν.
When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
