Hosea 13:12

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is kept in store.

See the chapter Copy

my transgression would be sealed up in a bag, and thou wouldest cover over my iniquity.

You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their sons.’ Let him recompense it to themselves, that they may know it.

Though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me, says the Lord God.

But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
