Hosea 5

5:1Hear these things, O priests! And take heed, O house of Israel! And give ear O house of the king! For judgment is against you. For you were a snare in the Height, and as a net being stretched out upon Tabor,

5:2which the ones catching the game firmly fastened; but I am your corrector.

5:3I knew Ephraim, and Israel is not removed from me. For now Ephraim fornicated; Israel was defiled.

5:4They gave not their deliberations to turn towards their God. For a spirit of harlotry is in the midst of them, and the lord they knew not.

5:5And the insolence of Israel shall be humbled unto his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall weaken in their iniquities; and Judah also shall be weak with them.

5:6With sheep and calves they shall go to seek after the lord, and in no way should they find him; he has turned aside from them.

5:7For they abandoned the lord; for alien children were born to them. Now the blight shall devour them and their lots of heritage.

5:8Trump the trumpet upon the hills! Sound out upon the high places! Proclaim in the house of On! Benjamin is startled.

5:9Ephraim became for extinction in the days of reproof. Among the tribes of Israel I showed to be trustworthy.

5:10The rulers of Judah became as ones altering boundaries. Upon them I will pour out my impulse as water.

5:11Ephraim tyrannized over his opponent; he trampled judgment, for he began to go after the vain things.

5:12And I will be as a disturbance to Ephraim, and as a spur to the house of Judah.

5:13And Ephraim beheld his disease, and Judah his grief. And Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent ambassadors to king Jareb; and he was not able to rescue; and in no way should there be a discontinuance of your grief.

5:14For I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Judah. And I will seize by force, and I will go, and I will take, and there shall not be one rescuing.

5:15I shall go and return unto my place until of which time they should be removed from view; and they shall seek my face.
