Verse | |
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 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.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. |
