Hosea 5
- 1Hear this, O priests. And listen, you house of Israel. And listen, O house of the king. For judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
- 2And the rebels are profound to make slaughter, though I have warned them all.
- 3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, you commit prostitution, and Israel is defiled.
- 4They will not frame their actions to turn to their God. For the spirit of prostitution is among them, and they have not known the Lord.
- 5And the pride of Israel does testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their wrongdoing: Judah also shall fall with them.
- 6They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord. But they shall not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
- 7They have dealt unfaithfully against the Lord. For they have had children who do not belong to him: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
- 8Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after you, O Benjamin.
- 9Ephraim shall be ruined in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
- 10The princes of Judah were like those who remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
- 11Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
- 12Therefore I will be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
- 13When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet he could not heal you, or cure you of your wound.
- 14For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away. I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
- 15I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their suffering they will seek me early.
