Hosea 5

^aHear ye this, O priests;

And hearken, ye house of Israel;

And give ye ear, O house of the king;

For judgment is toward you,

Because ^bye have been ^ca snare on ^dMizpah,

And ^ea net spread upon ^fTabor.

²And ^gthe revolters ^hare profound to make slaughter,

Though I have been a rebuker of them all.

³ⁱI know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me:

For now, ^kO Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and ^kIsrael is defiled.

⁴They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God:

For ^lthe spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them,

And they have not known the Lord.

⁵And ^mthe pride of Israel doth testify ⁿto his face:

Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity;

Judah also shall fall with them.

⁶They shall go ^owith their flocks and with their herds ^pto seek the Lord;

^pBut they shall not find him; ^pphe hath withdrawn himself from them.

⁷They have ^qdealt treacherously against the Lord:

For they have begotton strange children:

Now shall ^ra month devour them with their portions.

^8sBlow ye ^tthe cornet in ^uGibeah,

And ^vthe trumpet in ^wRamah:

^xCry aloud at ^yBeth-aven,

^zAfter thee, O Benjamin.

⁹Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke:

Among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

¹⁰The princes of Judah were like ^athem that remove the bound:

Therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

¹¹Ephraim is ^boppressed and ^bbroken in judgment,

Because he willingly walked after ^cthe commandment.

¹²Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as ^dea moth,

And to the house of Judah as ^drottenness.

¹³When Ephraim saw his sickness,

And Judah saw his ^fwound,

Then went Ephraim ^gto the Assyrian,

And ^hsent to king Jareb:

Yet could he not heal you

Nor cure you of your ^fwound.

¹⁴For ^kI will be unto Ephraim as ^la lion,

And as a young lion to the house of Judah:

^mI, even I, will tear and go away;

I will take away, and ^mnone shall rescue him.

¹⁵I will go and return to my place,

Till ⁿthey acknowledge their offence, and seek my face:

^oIn their affliction they will ^pseek me early.
