And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
Efraín decía: 'Mira qué exitoso me he vuelto! He acumulado toda esta riqueza y posición.' Pensaba que porque había trabajado duro por todo, nadie podría acusarlo de hacer algo realmente malo.
Efraín se enorgullecía de su éxito material pensando que su trabajo duro lo justificaba ante cualquier acusación de maldad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Hosea was a prophet in the 8th century BC who spoke to the northern kingdom of Israel, often referred to as Ephraim, during a period of economic growth and political alliances. The people had become wealthy through trade and agriculture but were turning away from God through idolatry and social injustices, which provoked divine judgment. In this verse, Ephraim boasts of their riches and claims moral innocence, reflecting a dangerous self-reliance that ignored their sins.
