Hosea 7:10

The pride of Israel testifieth to his face: see Hosea 5:5. Their proud contempt of God and his threats, of the prophets and their warnings, is notorious. They do not return to the Lord; they persist in sin without repentance, run away from God rather than return to him. Of this phrase, return, see Hosea 6:1. Their God; who was theirs of old, who still would be theirs on fair terms, of whom they talk and boast. Nor seek him; see this phrase Hosea 5:15; they pray not, repent not, nor rely on God. For all this; though so greatly, continually, and severely punished, though almost eaten up.
