KJB-1611 HOS Chapter 5

0 1 Gods iudgements against the Priests, the people, and the princes of Israel for their manifold sinnes, 15 vntill they repent. V ¶ Heare yee this, O priests, and hearken, ye house of Israel, and giue yee eare, O house of the king: for iudgement is toward you, because yee haue beene a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread vpon Tabor. 2 [fn][fn]And the reuolters are profound to make slaughter, though I haue bene a rebuker of them all. 3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whordome, and Israel is defiled. 4 [fn][fn]They will not frame their doings to turne vnto their God: for the spirit of whoredomes is in the midst of them, and they haue not knowen the LORD. 5 And the pride of Israel doth testifie to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Iudah also shall fall with them. 6 They shall goe with their flocks, and with their heards to seeke the LORD: but they shall not finde him, he hath withdrawen himselfe from them. 7 They haue dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they haue begotten strange children, now shall a moneth deuoure them with their portions. 8 Blow yee the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry alowd at Beth-auen: after thee, O Beniamin. 9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel haue I made knowen that which shall surely be. 10 The Princes of Iudah were like them that remooue the bound: therefore I will powre out my wrath vpon them like water. 11 Ephraim is oppressed, and broken in iudgement: because he willingly walked after the commandement. 12 [fn]Therefore wil I be vnto Ephraim as a moth: and to the house of Iudah as rottennesse. 13 [fn]When Ephraim saw his sicknesse, and Iudah saw his wound: then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Iareb; yet could he not heale you, nor cure you of your wound. 14 For I will bee vnto Ephraim as a Lion, and as a yong Lion to the house of Iudah: I, euen I wil teare and goe away: I will take away, and none shall rescue him. 15 ¶ [fn]I will goe and returne to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seeke my face: in their affliction they will seeke me early.
