5"Hear this, priests, pay attention, house of Israel, listen, royal family! For judgment is coming your way, because you have been a trap to Mizpah, a snare spread out on Mount Tabor.H8085H3548H7181H1004H3478H238H1004H4428H4941H6341H4709H7568H6566H83962The rebels are deep into their slaughter; I am punishing them all.H7846H6009H7819H41483I know Ephraim, and Israel cannot hide from me, since you, Ephraim, have been acting like a prostitute, defiling Israel.H3045H669H3478H3582H669H2181H3478H29304"Their actions hinder them from turning to their God, because a spirit of fornication is in their midst, and the Lord they do not know.H5414H4611H7725H430H7307H2183H7130H3045H30685The arrogance of Israel testifies against him; therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity, and Judah with them.H1347H3478H6030H6440H3478H669H3782H5771H3063H37826They will go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.H3212H6629H1241H1245H3068H4672H25027They have been unfaithful to the Lord, having raised unbelieving children. In the coming month they will be devoured, along with their fields.H898H3068H3205H2114H1121H2320H398H25068"Sound the trumpet in Gibeah, and the alarm in Ramah. Cry out at Beth-aven Go out, Benjamin!H8628H7782H1390H2689H7414H7321H1007H310H11449Ephraim will be desolate when it is rebuked. I have made known among the tribes of Israel what will surely come about.H669H8047H3117H8433H7626H3478H3045H53910The princes of Judah have become like those who move boundary markers: I will pour out my anger on them like water.H8269H3063H5253H1366H8210H5678H432511Ephraim is crushed, broken by judgment, because he willingly pursued idols.H669H6231H7533H4941H2974H1980H310H667312Therefore I will consume Ephraim like a moth, and the house of Judah as rottenness consumes.H669H6211H1004H3063H753813When Ephraim examined his illness and Judah his injury, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and inquired of the great king; but he could not cure you nor heal your injury.H669H7200H2483H3063H4205H3212H669H804H7971H4428H3377H7378H3201H7495H1455H420514Therefore I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I?even I?will tear them to pieces, and then I will leave. I will take them away, and there will be no rescue.H669H7826H3715H1004H3063H2963H3212H5375H533715"I will leave and go back to my place until they admit their offense and seek my face. When affliction comes to them, they will eagerly seek me."H3212H7725H4725H816H1245H6440H6862H7836
