Hosea:5

Seeker Overlay ON

* Hear ye this , O priests ; and hearken , ye house of Israel Yisra #el #; and give ye ear , O house of the king ; for judgment is toward you , because ye have been a snare on Mizpah , and a net spread upon Tabor . * And the revolters are profound to make slaughter , though I have been a rebuker of them all . * I know Ephraim , and Israel is not hid from me : for now , O Ephraim , thou committest whoredom , and Israel is defiled . * They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God : for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them , and they have not known the LORD . * 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 . * They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD ; but they shall not find him ; he hath withdrawn himself from them . * They have dealt treacherously against the LORD : for they have begotten strange children : now shall a month devour them with their portions . * Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah Gib #ah #, and the trumpet in Ramah : cry aloud at Bethaven Beyth , after thee , O Benjamin . * Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke : among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be . * The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound : therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water . * Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment , because he willingly walked after the commandment . * Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth , and to the house of Judah as rottenness . * When Ephraim saw his sickness , and Judah saw his wound , then went Ephraim to the Assyrian , and sent to king Jareb Y : yet could he not heal you , nor cure you of your wound . * For I will be unto 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 . * I will go and return to my place , till they acknowledge their offence , and seek my face : in their affliction they will seek me early .
