“The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.”
Hosea 13:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Hosea 13:12
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. Iniquity bound up and sin hidden doesn't mean forgotten but stored for future accounting. The imagery suggests sealed records awaiting judgment day. Deuteronomy 32:34 similarly describes: Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures? No sin escapes accounting; all awaits judgment. Ecclesiastes 12:14 declares: God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing. Only Christ's atonement removes stored-up sin from believers' account (Isaiah 43:25, I will not remember your sins).
