Osea 9:13
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

4-5 Consequently there is no Divine worship. (3)
6 All truth and good is turned into falsity and evil. (3)
7-9 They will perish on the day of judgment. (3)
12-13 The first of them were also such, they had no understanding of truth; so also their posterity, although instructed. (3)
