chapter 5
1
Hear
ye this, O priests, and hearken, O ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of
the king: for there is a judgment against you, because you have been a snare to
them whom you should have watched over, and a net spread upon Thabor.
2 And you have turned aside victims into the depth: and
I am, the teacher of them all.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for
now Ephraim hath committed fornication, Israel is defiled.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their
God: for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not
known the Lord.
5 And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and
Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with
them.
6 With their flocks, and with their herds, they shall
go to seek the Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.
7 They have transgressed against the Lord, for they
have begotten children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with
their portions.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama:
howl ye in Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke:
among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
10 The princes of Juda are become as they that take up
the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment:
because he began to go after filthiness.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like
rottenness to the house of Juda.
13 And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and
Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not
be able to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a
lion's whelp to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away,
and there is none that can rescue.
15 I will go and return to my place: until you are
consumed, and seek my face.
