Book 15 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - HOSEA - Chapter 005
05:001
Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel,
and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye
have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor
05:002
And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter;
and I am rejected of them all
05:003
I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for
now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled
05:004
Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their G-d;
for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not HaShem
05:005
But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and
Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble
with them
05:006
With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to
seek HaShem, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them
05:007
They have dealt treacherously against HaShem, for they have
begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their
portions
05:008
Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound
an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!
05:009
Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the
tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be
05:010
The princes of Judah are like them that remove the
landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water
05:011
Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he
willingly walked after filth
05:012
Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of
Judah as rottenness
05:013
And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound,
Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to
heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound
05:014
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion
to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and
there shall be none to deliver
05:015
I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge
their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly
