Hosea:5

Seeker Overlay ON

* Hear this , ye priests ; and hearken , ye house of Israel ; and give ear , O house of the king : for this judgment is for you ; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah , and a net spread upon Tabor . * And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy , but I will be a chastiser of them all . * I know Ephraim , and Israel is not hid from me ; for now , Ephraim , thou hast committed whoredom ; Israel is defiled . * Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God ; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them , and they know not Jehovah . * And Israel 's pride doth testify to his face ; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity : Judah also shall fall with them . * They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah ; but they shall not find [him ]: he hath withdrawn himself from them . * They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah ; for they have begotten strange children : now shall the new moon devour them , with their allotted possessions . * Blow the horn in Gibeah , the trumpet in Ramah ; cry aloud [at ] Beth-aven : behind thee , O Benjamin ! * Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke : among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure . * The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark : I will pour out my wrath upon them like water . * Ephraim is oppressed , crushed in judgment , because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man ]. * And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth , and to the house of Judah as rottenness . * When Ephraim saw his sickness , and Judah his sore , then went Ephraim to the Assyrian , and sent to king Jareb ; but he was unable to heal you , nor hath he removed your sore . * For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion , and as a young lion to the house of Judah . I , I will tear and go away ; I will carry off , and there shall be none to deliver . * I will go away , I will return to my place , till they acknowledge their trespass , and seek my face : in their affliction they will seek me early .
