Hos 4.1; 6.9 Hear this, O priests!
Give heed, O house of Israel!
Listen, O house of the king!
For the judgment pertains to you,
for you have been a snare at Mizpah
and a net spread upon Tabor
2and a pit dug deep in Shittim,#5.2 Cn: Meaning of Heb uncertain
but I will punish all of them.

Hos 6.10; Am 3.2 I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from me,
for now, O Ephraim, you have prostituted yourself;
Israel is defiled.
4 #

to return to their God.
For the spirit of prostitution is within them,
and they do not know the LORD.

the trumpet in Ramah.

in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
I declare what is sure.

Deut 19.14; Ps 93.3, 4; Ezek 7.8 The princes of Judah have become
like those who remove the landmark;
on them I will pour out
my wrath like water.

because he was determined to go after vanity.#5.11 Gk: Meaning of Heb uncertain

and Judah his wound,

and sent to the great king.#5.13 Cn: Heb to a king who will contend
But he is not able to cure you
or heal your wound.
14 #
Ps 50.22; Hos 13.7, 8; 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 shall rescue.
15 #
Isa 64.7–9; Jer 2.27; Hos 3.5 I will return again to my place
until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face.
In their distress they will beg my favor:
