Hosea 5:1-7

1Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, royal house! For the judgment applies to you because you have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor.

2Rebels are deeply involved in slaughter; I will be a punishment for all of them.

3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. For now, Ephraim, you have acted promiscuously; Israel is defiled.

4Their actions do not allow them to return to their God, for a spirit of promiscuity is among them, and they do not know the Lord.

5Israel’s arrogance testifies against them. Both Israel and Ephraim stumble because of their iniquity; even Judah will stumble with them.

6They go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord but do not find him; he has withdrawn from them.

7They betrayed the Lord; indeed, they gave birth to illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their fields.
