KJV Hosea Chapter 5
1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment |is| toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I |have been| a rebuker of them all. 3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, |and| Israel is defiled. 4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms |is| in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD. 5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. 6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find |him|; he hath withdrawn himself from them. 7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. 8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, |and| the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud |at| Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. 9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. 10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: |therefore| I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 11 Ephraim |is| oppressed |and| broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. 12 Therefore |will| I |be| unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah |saw| his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 14 For I |will be| unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, |even| I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue |him|. 15 I will go |and| return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
