The Book of Hosea

 

Chapter 5

 

 

1.

 

Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is towards you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

    
 
 

2.

 

And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

    
 
 

3.

 

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou art guilty of lewdness, and Israel is defiled.

    
 
 

4.

 

They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of lewdness is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

    
 
 

5.

 

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

    
 
 

6.

 

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

    
 
 

7.

 

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

    
 
 

8.

 

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.

    
 
 

9.

 

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

    
 
 

10.

 

The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

    
 
 

11.

 

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

    
 
 

12.

 

Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

    
 
 

13.

 

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet he could not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

    
 
 

14.

 

For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

    
 
 

15.

 

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
