LSV HOS Chapter 5

5 “Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel,
And, O house of the king, give ear,
For the judgment [is] for you,
For you have been a snare on Mizpah,
And a net spread out on Tabor. 2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep,
And I [am] a chain to them all. 3 I have known Ephraim,
And Israel has not been hid from Me,
For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim,
Israel is defiled. 4 They do not give up their habitual doings,
To turn back to their God,
For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst,
And YHWH they have not known. 5 And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face,
And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity,
Judah has also stumbled with them. 6 With their flock and with their herd,
They go to seek YHWH, and do not find,
He has withdrawn from them. 7 Against YHWH they dealt treacherously,
For they have begotten strange sons,
Now a month consumes them [with] their portions. 8 Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah,
Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin. 9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof,
I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel. 10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border,
I pour out My wrath as water on them. 11 Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment,
When he pleased he went after the command. 12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim,
And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah. 13 And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound,
And Ephraim goes to Asshur,
And sends to a warlike king,
And he is not able to give healing to you,
Nor does he remove a scar from you. 14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim,
And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go,
I carry away, and there is no deliverer. 15 I go—I return to My place,
Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
