MOF HOS Chapter 5

HOS 5 ©

5Hear this, O priests

attend, O royal house;

the sentence is for you.

At Mizpah you have been a snare,

on Tabor a net spread out,

2at Shittim a deep pit dug;

but I will catch you hunters all.


3Well do I know Ephraim,

Israel is no secret to me

(you play the harlot, Ephraim,

Israel stains herself).

4Their doings will not suffer them

to come back to their God;

for a harlot-spirit possesses them,

and the Eternal they do not understand.

5But Israel’s pride shall confront them,

Ephraim’s guilt shall undo them,

and with them Judah too.

6With flocks and cattle thy shall go

in search of the Eternal,

but they shall never find him;

he has withdrawn from them.

7They have been faithless to the Eternal,

bearing bastard children,

and so a conqueror shall destroy

them and their acres.


8Blow the bugle in Gibeah,

blow the clarion in Ramah,

sound the alarum at Bethel,

to startle Benjamin.

9Ephraim shall be laid bare

upon the day of punishment

(true is the doom that I declare

upon the clans of Israel).

10Judah’s leaders are no better

than a man who shifts a landmark;

so I vent my wrath upon them.

11Ephraim is an oppressor,

trampling justice down–

he would go after idols vain;

12so I eat Ephraim away like moths,

eat away Judah’s house like worms.


13When Ephraim noticed his decay,

and Judah his disease,

Ephraim turned to Assyria,

Judah to the great Monarch,

But he cannot heal you,

your disease he cannot cure;

14for I am like a lion to Ephraim,

like a young lion to Judah,

I tear, I go my way,

and none can rescue my prey.

15I withdraw to my own place,

till they feel their iniquity

and seek my face,

searching for me in their distress,
