‏ Hosea 5

The People’s Apostasy Rebuked

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 asnare at Mizpah
And a net spread out on Tabor.
 2The brevolters have ▼
▼ Or waded deep in slaughter
 , dgone deep in depravity,
But I will chastise all of them.
 3I eknow 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 fspirit of harlotry is within them,
And they gdo not know the Lord.
 5Moreover, the hpride of Israel testifies against him,
And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
iJudah also has stumbled with them.
 6They will jgo with their flocks and herds
To seek the Lord, but they will knot find Him;
He has lwithdrawn from them.
 7They have mdealt treacherously against the Lord,
For they have borne ▼
▼ Lit strange
 , oillegitimate children.
Now the pnew moon will devour them with their ▼
▼ Lit portions
land.

 8 rBlow the horn in sGibeah,
The trumpet in Ramah.
Sound an alarm at Beth-aven:
t“Behind you, Benjamin!”
 9Ephraim will become a udesolation in the vday of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I wdeclare what is sure.
 10The princes of Judah have become like those who xmove a boundary;
On them I will ypour out My wrath zlike water.
 11Ephraim is aaoppressed, crushed in judgment,
abBecause he was determined to ▼
▼ Or with some ancient versions, follow nothingness
follow man’s command.
 12Therefore I am like a admoth to Ephraim
And like rottenness to the house of Judah.
 13When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah his ▼
▼ Or ulcer
wound,
Then Ephraim went to afAssyria
And sent to ▼
▼ Or the avenging king or the great king
 , ahKing Jareb.
But he is aiunable to heal you,
Or to cure you of your ▼
▼ Or ulcer
wound.
 14For I will be aklike a lion to Ephraim
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
alI, even I, will tear to pieces and go away,
I will carry away, and there will be amnone to deliver.
 15I will go away and return to My place
Until they ▼
▼ Or bear their punishment
 , aoacknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly apseek Me.
