Hosea - Chapter 5

	Hsa 5:1	Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, For you have been a snare at Mizpah And a net spread out on Tabor.
	Hsa 5:2	The revolters have [fn]gone deep in depravity, But I will chastise all of them.
	Hsa 5:3	I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.
	Hsa 5:4	Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the LORD.
	Hsa 5:5	Moreover, the pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also has stumbled with them.
	Hsa 5:6	They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the LORD, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.
	Hsa 5:7	They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, For they have borne [fn]illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their [fn]land.
	Hsa 5:8	Blow the horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: "Behind you, Benjamin!"
	Hsa 5:9	Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
	Hsa 5:10	The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water.
	Hsa 5:11	Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, Because he was determined to [fn]follow man's command.
	Hsa 5:12	Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim And like rottenness to the house of Judah.
	Hsa 5:13	When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his [fn]wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to [fn]King Jareb. But he is unable to heal you, Or to cure you of your [fn]wound.
	Hsa 5:14	For I will be like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be none to deliver.
	Hsa 5:15	I will go away and return to My place Until they [fn]acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
