5Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, 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,H8085H3548H7181H1004H3478H238H1004H4428H4941H6341H4709H7568H6566H83962and a pit dug deep in Shittim; but I will punish all of them.H7846H6009H7819H41483I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore; Israel is defiled.H3045H669H3478H3582H669H2181H3478H29304Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they do not know the LORD.H5414H4611H7725H430H7307H2183H7130H3045H30685Israel's pride testifies against him; Ephraim stumbles in his guilt; Judah also stumbles with them.H1347H3478H6030H6440H3478H669H3782H5771H3063H37826With their flocks and herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.H3212H6629H1241H1245H3068H4672H25027They have dealt faithlessly with the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon shall devour them along with their fields.H898H3068H3205H2114H1121H2320H398H25068Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth-aven; look behind you, Benjamin!H8628H7782H1390H2689H7414H7321H1007H310H11449Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.H669H8047H3117H8433H7626H3478H3045H53910The princes of Judah have become like those who remove the landmark; on them I will pour out my wrath like water.H8269H3063H5253H1366H8210H5678H432511Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was determined to go after vanity.H669H6231H7533H4941H2974H1980H310H667312Therefore I am like maggots to Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.H669H6211H1004H3063H753813When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to the great king. But he is not able to cure you or heal your wound.H669H7200H2483H3063H4205H3212H669H804H7971H4428H3377H7378H3201H7495H1455H420514For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear and go away; I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.H669H7826H3715H1004H3063H2963H3212H5375H533715I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face. In their distress they will beg my favor:H3212H7725H4725H816H1245H6440H6862H7836
