Hosea 5

1HearH8085 this, O ye priestsH3548, and hearken, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and giveH238 earH238, O houseH1004 of the kingH4428; for unto you pertaineth the judgmentH4941; for ye have beenH1961 a snareH6341 at MizpahH4709, and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon TaborH8396. 2And the revolters are gone deepH6009 in making slaughterH7819; but I am a rebuker of them all. 3I knowH3045 EphraimH669, and IsraelH3478 is not hid from me; for nowH6258, O EphraimH669, thou hast playedH2181 the harlot, IsraelH3478 is defiledH2930. 4Their doings will not suffer them to turnH7725 unto their GodH430; for the spiritH7307 of whoredom is within them, and they knowH3045 not Jehovah. 5And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: therefore IsraelH3478 and EphraimH669 shall stumbleH3782 in their iniquityH5771; JudahH3063 alsoH1571 shall stumbleH3782 with them. 6They shall go with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 Jehovah; but they shall not findH4672 him: he hath withdrawn himself from them. 7They have dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 against Jehovah; for they have borneH3205 strangeH2114 children: nowH6258 shall the newH2320 moonH2320 devourH398 them with their fields.

8BlowH8628 ye the cornet in GibeahH1390, and the trumpetH7782 in RamahH7414: soundH7321 an alarmH7321 at Beth-aven; behind thee, O BenjaminH1144. 9EphraimH669 shall becomeH1961 a desolationH8047 in the dayH3117 of rebukeH8433: among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 have I madeH3045 knownH3045 that which shall surely beH1961. 10The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 are like them that remove the landmark: I will pourH8210 out my wrathH5678 upon them like waterH4325. 11EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231, he is crushedH7533 in judgmentH4941; because he was content to walkH1980 after man’s commandH6673. 12Therefore am I unto EphraimH669 as a mothH6211, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 as rottennessH7538. 13When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 sawH7200 his woundH4205, then went EphraimH669 to AssyriaH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH3377: but he is not ableH3201 to healH7495 you, neither will he cure you of your woundH4205. 14For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH3715, and as a youngH3715 lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH5375; I will carryH5375 off, and there shall be none to deliverH5337. 15I will goH7725 and returnH7725 to my placeH4725, till they acknowledge their offence, and seekH1245 my faceH6440: in their affliction they will seekH1245 me earnestlyH7836.
