Hosea 5

The Message Bible MSG

1 "Listen to this, priests! Attention, people of Israel! Royal family - all ears! You're in charge of justice around here. But what have you done? Exploited people at Mizpah, ripped them off on Tabor,

2 Victimized them at Shittim. I'm going to punish the lot of you.

3 "I know you, Ephraim, inside and out. Yes, Israel, I see right through you! Ephraim, you've played your sex-and-religion games long enough. All Israel is thoroughly polluted.

4 They couldn't turn to God if they wanted to. Their evil life is a bad habit. Every breath they take is a whore's breath. They wouldn't recognize God if they saw me.

5 "Bloated by arrogance, big as a house, they're a public disgrace, The lot of them - Israel, Ephraim, Judah - lurching and weaving down their guilty streets.

6 When they decide to get their lives together and go off looking for God once again, They'll find it's too late. I, God, will be long gone.

7 They've played fast and loose with me for too long, filling the country with their bastard offspring. A plague of locusts will devastate their violated land.

8 "Blow the ram's horn shofar in Gibeah, the bugle in Ramah! Signal the invasion of Sin City! Scare the daylights out of Benjamin!

9 Ephraim will be left wasted, a lifeless moonscape. I'm telling it straight, the unvarnished truth, to the tribes of Israel.

10 "Israel's rulers are crooks and thieves, cheating the people of their land, And I'm angry, good and angry. Every inch of their bodies is going to feel my anger.

11 "Brutal Ephraim is himself brutalized - a taste of his own medicine! He was so determined to do it his own worthless way.

12 Therefore I'm pus to Ephraim, dry rot in the house of Judah.

13 "When Ephraim saw he was sick and Judah saw his pus-filled sores, Ephraim went running to Assyria, went for help to the big king. But he can't heal you. He can't cure your oozing sores.

14 "I'm a grizzly charging Ephraim, a grizzly with cubs charging Judah. I'll rip them to pieces - yes, I will! No one can stop me now. I'll drag them off. No one can help them.

15 Then I'll go back to where I came from until they come to their senses. When they finally hit rock bottom, maybe they'll come looking for me."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 audite hoc sacerdotes et adtendite domus Israhel et domus regis auscultate quia vobis iudicium est quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi et rete expansum super Thabor

2 et victimas declinastis in profundum et ego eruditor omnium eorum

3 ego scio Ephraim et Israhel non est absconditus a me quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel

4 non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Dominum suum quia spiritus fornicationis in medio eorum et Dominum non cognoverunt

5 et respondebit arrogantia Israhel in facie eius et Israhel et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua ruet etiam Iudas cum eis

6 in gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quaerendum Dominum et non invenient ablatus est ab eis

7 in Domino praevaricati sunt quia filios alienos genuerunt nunc devorabit eos mensis cum partibus suis

8 clangite bucina in Gabaa tuba in Rama ululate in Bethaven post tergum tuum Beniamin

9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis in tribubus Israhel ostendi fidem

10 facti sunt principes Iuda quasi adsumentes terminum super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam

11 calumniam patiens Ephraim fractus iudicio quoniam coepit abire post sordem

12 et ego quasi tinea Ephraim et quasi putredo domui Iuda

13 et vidit Ephraim languorem suum et Iudas vinculum suum et abiit Ephraim ad Assur et misit ad regem ultorem et ipse non poterit sanare vos nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum

14 quoniam ego quasi leaena Ephraim et quasi catulus leonis domui Iuda ego ego capiam et vadam tollam et non est qui eruat

15 vadens revertar ad locum meum donec deficiatis et quaeratis faciem meam
