This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
≈ Pay attention, you Israelis.
≈ Listen, you household of the king,
because the judgement is for you,
because you have all been a snare at Mitspah
≈ and a net spread over Mt. Tavor.
2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter,
→ but I will discipline all of them.
≈ and Yisrael (Israel) isn’t hidden from me.
You’ve prostituted yourself for now, Yisrael.
4 Their past actions won’t allow them to return to their god,
because they have a spirit of prostitution within them,
5 Yisrael’s (Israel’s) arrogance testifies against them,
Yisrael—yes, Yisrael (Israel; Heb. Efrayim)—will stumble in their guilt.
Yehudah (Judah) also will stumble with them.
6 They’ll go to inquire from Yahweh, taking their flocks and herds for sacrifices,
but they won’t hear from him because he’s withdrawn from them.
7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh because they’ve borne illegitimate children.
Now the new moon festivals will devour them along with their fields.
‘We’ll follow you into battle, Benyamin!’
9 Yisrael (Israel; Heb. Efrayim) will become uninhabited in the time of punishment.
Among Yisrael’s tribes I declare what will certainly happen.
10 Yehudah’s (Judah’s) leaders are like thieves who move a boundary.
I’ll pour my anger out on them like water from a jug.
because it was determined to honour idols.
12 So I’ll be like a moth to Yisrael,
≈ and like rot to Yehudah’s descendants.
13 When Yisrael saw its sickness,
then Yisrael went to Ashur (Assyria),
≈ and sent to the great king there.
≈ or heal your wound,
14 because I’ll be like a lion to Yisrael,
≈ and like a young lion to Yehudah’s descendants.
I myself will tear them apart then go away.
≈ I’ll carry them off and there’ll be no one to rescue them.
15 I’ll go and return to my place,
until they acknowledge their guilt and strive to do what I’ve told them—
until in their distress, they make a sincere decision to obey me.”
