ULT HOS Chapter 5

◄ HOS 5 ► ║ ©

5 “Hear this, O priests!

Pay attention, O house of Israel!

Listen, O house of the king!

For the judgment is for you,

for you have been a snare at Mizpah

and a net spread over Tabor.

2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter,

but I will discipline all of them.[fn]

3 I know Ephraim,

and Israel is not hidden from me;

for now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot;

Israel is defiled.

4 Their deeds will not allow them to return to their God,

for a spirit of harlotry is within them,

and they do not know Yahweh.

5 The pride of Israel testifies against him;

Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt;

Judah also will stumble with them.

6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh,

but they will not find him,

for he has withdrawn from them.

7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh,

for they have borne illegitimate children.

Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.

8 Blow the horn in Gibeah,

and the trumpet in Ramah.

Sound the alarm at Beth Aven:

‘We will follow you, O Benjamin!’

9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of punishment.

Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is certain.

10 The princes of Judah are like those who move a boundary.

I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

11 Ephraim is oppresssed;

he is crushed in judgment,

because he was determined to go after idols.

12 So I will be like a moth to Ephraim,

and like rot to the house of Judah.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,

and Judah his wound,

then Ephraim went to Assyria,

and sent to the great king.

But he is not able to cure you

or heal your wound.

14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim,

and like a young lion to the house of Judah.

I, even I, will tear and go away;

I will carry off,

and there will be no one to rescue.

15 I will go and return to my place,

until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,

until they earnestly seek me in their distress.”
