OET HOS chapter 5

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

5 “Hear this, you priests.

≈Pay attention, you Israelis.

≈Listen, you household of the king,

because the judgment is for you,

because you have all been a snare at Mizpah

≈and a net spread over Mt. Tabor.

2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter,

→but I will discipline all of them.

3 I know Efraim,

≈and Yisrael isn’t hidden from me.

You’ve prostituted yourself for now, Efraim.

≈Yisrael is defiled.

5:4 Hoshea’s warning against idolatry

4 Their past actions won’t allow them to return to their God,

because they have a spirit of prostitution within them,

and they don’t know Yahweh.

5 Yisrael’s arrogance testifies against them,

Yisrael and Efraim will stumble in their guilt.

Yehudah 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but they won’t hear from him because he’s withdrawn from them.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.

5:8 The war of Yehudah and of Israel

8 Blow the horn in Gibeah,

and the trumpet in Ramah.

Sound the alarm at Beth-Aven:

‘We’ll follow you into battle, Benyamin!’

9 Efraim/Yisrael will become uninhabited in the time of punishment.

Among Yisrael’s tribes I declare what will certainly happen.

10 Yehudah’s leaders are like thieves who move a boundary.

I’ll pour my anger out on them like water from a jug.

11 Efraim is oppresssed.

It’s crushed in judgment,

because it was determined to honour idols.

12 So I’ll be like a moth to Efraim,

≈and like rot to Yehudah’s descendants.

13 When Efraim saw its sickness,

≈and Yehudah its wound,

then Efraim went to Assyria,

≈and sent to the great king there.

But he can’t cure you

≈or heal your wound,

14 because I’ll be like a lion to Efraim,

≈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.”
