Hosea 5
5
Judgment Against Israel and Judah
1#Hos 9:8; 6:9 Hear this, O priests!
Pay attention, O house of Israel!
Listen, O house of the king!
For the judgment is for you,
because you have been a snare at Mizpah
and a net spread over Tabor,
2#Hos 9:15; Isa 29:15 and a pit dug deep in Shittim;
but I will discipline them all.
3#Am 3:2 I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from Me;
for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore.
Israel is defiled.
4#Hos 4:12 Their deeds do not allow them
to return to their God;
for a spirit of harlotry is in their midst,
and they do not know the Lord.
5#Hos 7:10; Eze 23:31–35 The pride of Israel testifies against him.
Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity.
Judah also stumbles with them.
6#Pr 1:28; Mic 6:6–7 With their flocks and their herds they will go
to seek the Lord,
but they will not find Him.
He has withdrawn from them.
7#Hos 6:7; Isa 48:8 They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord,
for they have given birth to illegitimate children.
Now the New Moon will devour them
along with their portion.
War, Wrath, and Repentance
8#Hos 9:9; 1Sa 15:34 Blow the horn in Gibeah,
and the trumpet in Ramah.
Cry aloud at Beth Aven,
“Look behind you, O Benjamin!”#Or “After you, O Benjamin!”
9#Isa 46:10; Hos 9:11–17 Ephraim will become desolate
in the day of punishment.
Among the tribes of Israel
I make known that which is sure.
10#Dt 19:14; 27:17 The princes of Judah have become
like those who remove a boundary marker.
Upon them I will pour out
My wrath like water.
11#Dt 28:33; Mic 6:16 Ephraim is oppressed
and broken in judgment,
because he eagerly followed after vanity.
12#Isa 51:8; Job 13:28 Therefore I will be like pus to Ephraim
and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
13#Hos 7:11; Jer 30:12 When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah saw his wound,
then Ephraim went to Assyria,
and sent to King Jareb.#Or the great king.
Yet he cannot cure you
or heal your wound.
14#Ps 7:2; Mic 5:8 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I, Myself, will tear and go away.
I will carry off, and no one will rescue.
15#Jer 2:27; Lev 26:40–42 I will again return to My place
until they acknowledge their offense
and seek My face.
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
