Hosea 5:5-15

5Moreover, the 1pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; 2Judah also has stumbled with them.6They will 3go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord, but they will 4not find Him; He has 5withdrawn from them.7They have 6dealt treacherously against the Lord, For they have borne 7 8illegitimate children. Now the 9new moon will devour them with their 10land.

8 11Blow the horn in 12Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: “13Behind you, Benjamin!”9Ephraim will become a 14desolation in the 15day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I 16declare what is sure.10The princes of Judah have become like those who 17move a boundary; On them I will 18pour out My wrath 19like water.11Ephraim is 20oppressed, crushed in judgment, 21Because he was determined to 22follow man’s command.12Therefore I am like a 23moth to Ephraim And like rottenness to the house of Judah.13When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his 24wound, Then Ephraim went to 25Assyria And sent to 26 27King Jareb. But he is 28unable to heal you, Or to cure you of your 29wound.14For I will be 30like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. 31I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be 32none to deliver.15I will go away and return to My place Until they 33 34acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly 35seek Me.
