Hosea 5

1HearH8085 ye this, O priestsH3548; and hearkenH7181, ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and give ye earH238, O houseH1004 of the kingH4428; for judgmentH4941 is toward you, because ye have been a snareH6341 on MizpahH4709, and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon TaborH8396. 2And the revoltersH7846 are profoundH6009 to make slaughterH7819, though I have been a rebukerH4148 of them all.12 3I knowH3045 EphraimH669, and IsraelH3478 is not hidH3582 from me: for now, O EphraimH669, thou committest whoredomH2181, and IsraelH3478 is defiledH2930. 4They will not frameH5414 their doingsH4611 to turnH7725 unto their GodH430: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 is in the midstH7130 of them, and they have not knownH3045 YhwhH3068.34 5And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: therefore shall IsraelH3478 and EphraimH669 fallH3782 in their iniquityH5771; JudahH3063 also shall fallH3782 with them. 6They shall goH3212 with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 YhwhH3068; but they shall not findH4672 him; he hath withdrawnH2502 himself from them. 7They have dealt treacherouslyH898 against YhwhH3068: for they have begottenH3205 strangeH2114 childrenH1121: now shall the new moon H2320 devourH398 them with their portionsH2506. 8BlowH8628 ye the cornetH7782 in GibeahH1390, and the trumpetH2689 in RamahH7414: cry aloudH7321 at Beth–avenH1007, afterH310 thee, O BenjaminH1144. 9EphraimH669 shall be desolateH8047 in the dayH3117 of rebukeH8433: among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 have I made knownH3045 that which shall surely beH539. 10The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 were like them that removeH5253 the boundH1366: therefore I will pour outH8210 my wrathH5678 upon them like waterH4325. 11EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgmentH4941, because he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandmentH6673. 12Therefore will I be unto EphraimH669 as a mothH6211, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 as rottennessH7538.5 13When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 saw his woundH4205, then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the AssyrianH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH7378H3377: yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, nor cureH1455 you of your woundH4205.6 14For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.

15I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my placeH4725, till they acknowledge their offenceH816, and seekH1245 my faceH6440: in their afflictionH6862 they will seek me earlyH7836.7
