5 Hear this, priests!a
Pay attention, house of Israel!
Listen, royal house!
For the judgment applies to you
because you have been a snare at Mizpahb
and a net spread out on Tabor.
2 Rebelsc are deeply involved in slaughter;d
I will be a punishment for all of them.A
3 I know Ephraim,e
and Israel is not hidden from me.
For now, Ephraim,f
you have acted promiscuously;
Israel is defiled.
4 Their actions do not allow them
to return to their God,g
for a spirit of promiscuity is among them,h
and they do not know the Lord.i
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them.B,j
Both Israel and Ephraim stumble
because of their iniquity;k
even Judah will stumble with them.l
6 They go with their flocks and herds
to seek the Lordm
but do not find him;n
he has withdrawn from them.o
7 They betrayed the Lord;p
indeed, they gave birth to illegitimate children.q
Now the New Moonr will devour them
along with their fields.s
8 Blow the trumpet in Gibeah,t
the trumpet in Ramah;u
raise the war cry in Beth-aven:v
9 Ephraim will become a desolationx
on the day of punishment;y
I announce what is certain
among the tribes of Israel.z
10 The princes of Judah are like those
who move boundary markers;aa
I will pour out my furyab on them like water.ac
11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,ad
for he is determined to follow what is worthless.D
12 So I am like rot to Ephraimae
and like decay to the house of Judah.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
Ephraim went to Assyriaaf
and sent a delegation to the great king.E,ag
But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.ah
14 For I am like a lion to Ephraimai
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart.aj
I will carry them off,
and no one can rescue them.ak
15 I will depart and return to my place
until they recognize their guilt and seek my face;al
they will search for me in their distress.am

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
