Hosea 5:1-7

1Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, For you have been a 1snare at Mizpah And a net spread out on Tabor.2The 2revolters have 3 4gone deep in depravity, But I will chastise all of them.3I 5know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.4Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a 6spirit of harlotry is within them, And they 7do not know the Lord.5Moreover, the 8pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; 9Judah also has stumbled with them.6They will 10go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord, but they will 11not find Him; He has 12withdrawn from them.7They have 13dealt treacherously against the Lord, For they have borne 14 15illegitimate children. Now the 16new moon will devour them with their 17land.
