Hosea 5

1 God's judgments against the priests, the people, and the princes of Israel, for their manifold sins, 15 until they repent.

 5:1 Hear 8085 this 2088, O priests 3548! Give 7181 heed 7181, O house 1004 of Israel 3478! Listen 238, O house 1004 of the king 4428! For the judgment 4941 applies to you, For you have been 1961 a snare 6341a at Mizpah 4709 And a net 7568 spread 6566 out on Tabor 8396.

 5:2 The revolters 7846 have gone 6009 deep 6009 in depravity 7821a, But I will chastise 4148 all 3605 of them.

 5:3 I know 3045 Ephraim 669, and Israel 3478 is not hidden 3582 from Me; For now 6258, O Ephraim 669, you have played 2181 the harlot 2181, Israel 3478 has defiled 2930 itself.

 5:4 Their deeds 4611 will not allow 5414 them To return 7725 to their God 430. For a spirit 7307 of harlotry 2183 is within 7130 them, And they do not know 3045 the LORD 3068.

 5:5 Moreover, the pride 1347b of Israel 3478 testifies 6030a against 6440 him, And Israel 3478 and Ephraim 669 stumble 3782 in their iniquity 5771; Judah 3063 also 1571 has stumbled 3782 with them.

 5:6 They will go 1980 with their flocks 6629 and herds 1241 To seek 1245 the LORD 3068, but they will not find 4672 [Him]; He has withdrawn 2502a from them.

 5:7 They have dealt 898 treacherously 898 against the LORD 3068, For they have borne 3205 illegitimate 2114a children 1121. Now 6258 the new 2320 moon 2320 will devour 398 them with their land 2506.

 5:8 ¶ Blow 8628 the horn 7782 in Gibeah 1390, The trumpet 2689 in Ramah 7414. Sound 7321 an alarm 7321 at Beth-aven 1007b: “Behind 310 you, Benjamin 1144!”

 5:9 Ephraim 669 will become 1961 a desolation 8047 in the day 3117 of rebuke 8433a; Among the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 I declare 3045 what is sure 539.

 5:10 The princes 8269 of Judah 3063 have become 1961 like those who move 5472 a boundary 1366; On them I will pour 8210 out My wrath 5678 like water 4325.

 5:11 Ephraim 669 is oppressed 6231, crushed 7533 in judgment 4941, Because 3588 he was determined 2974 to follow 1980 310 [man’s] command 6673.

 5:12 Therefore I am like a moth 6211 to Ephraim 669 And like rottenness 7538 to the house 1004 of Judah 3063.

 5:13 When Ephraim 669 saw 7200 his sickness 2483, And Judah 3063 his wound 4205, Then Ephraim 669 went 1980 to Assyria 804b And sent 7971 to King 4428 Jareb 3377. But he is unable 3808 3201 to heal 7495 you, Or to cure 1455 you of your wound 4205.

 5:14 For I [will be] like a lion 7826 to Ephraim 669 And like a young 3715 lion 3715 to the house 1004 of Judah 3063. I, even I, will tear 2963 to pieces and go 1980 away, I will carry 5375 away, and there 369 will be none 369 to deliver 5337.

 5:15 I will go 1980 away [and] return 7725 to My place 4725 Until 5704 834 they acknowledge 816 their guilt 816 and seek 1245 My face 6440; In their affliction 6862b they will earnestly 7836 seek 7836 Me.
