Hosea 5:1-10 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Hearken, O house of the king! For the judgment pertains to you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2
And they have made deep the pit of Shittim; but I will chastise all of them.
3
I know E'phraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O E'phraim, you have played the harlot, Israel is defiled.
4
Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
5
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; E'phraim shall stumble in his guilt; Judah also shall stumble with them.
6
With their flocks and herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.
7
They have dealt faithlessly with the LORD; for they have borne alien children. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
8
Blow the horn in Gib'e-ah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth-a'ven; tremble, O Benjamin!
9
E'phraim shall become a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
10
The princes of Judah have become like those who remove the landmark; upon them I will pour out my wrath like water.
