5"Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O house of the king! For yours is the judgment, Because you have been a snare to Mizpah And a net spread on Tabor.H8085H3548H7181H1004H3478H238H1004H4428H4941H6341H4709H7568H6566H83962The revolters are deeply involved in slaughter, Though I rebuke them all.H7846H6009H7819H41483I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you commit harlotry; Israel is defiled.H3045H669H3478H3582H669H2181H3478H29304"They do not direct their deeds Toward turning to their God, For the spirit of harlotry is in their midst, And they do not know the LORD.H5414H4611H7725H430H7307H2183H7130H3045H30685The pride of Israel testifies to his face; Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also stumbles with them.H1347H3478H6030H6440H3478H669H3782H5771H3063H37826"With their flocks and herds They shall go to seek the LORD, But they will not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.H3212H6629H1241H1245H3068H4672H25027They have dealt treacherously with the LORD, For they have begotten pagan children. Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.H898H3068H3205H2114H1121H2320H398H25068"Blow the ram's horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah! Cry aloud at Beth Aven, 'Look behind you, O Benjamin!'H8628H7782H1390H2689H7414H7321H1007H310H11449Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.H669H8047H3117H8433H7626H3478H3045H53910"The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out my wrath on them like water.H8269H3063H5253H1366H8210H5678H432511Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, Because he willingly walked by human precept.H669H6231H7533H4941H2974H1980H310H667312Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth, And to the house of Judah like rottenness.H669H6211H1004H3063H753813"When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah saw his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to King Jareb; Yet he cannot cure you, Nor heal you of your wound.H669H7200H2483H3063H4205H3212H669H804H7971H4428H3377H7378H3201H7495H1455H420514For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them and go away; I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.H669H7826H3715H1004H3063H2963H3212H5375H533715I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me."H3212H7725H4725H816H1245H6440H6862H7836
