HearH8085 you this,H2063 O priests;H3548 and listen,H7181 you houseH1004 of Israel;H3478 and give you ear,H238 O houseH1004 of the king;H4428 for judgmentH4941 is toward you, becauseH3588 you have beenH1961 a snareH6341 on Mizpah,H4709 and a netH7568 spreadH6566 on Tabor.H8396
2
And the rebelsH7846 are profoundH6009 to make slaughter,H7819 though I have been a rebukerH4148 of them all.H3605
3
I knowH3045 Ephraim,H669 and IsraelH3478 is not hidH3582 from me: for now, O Ephraim,H669 you commitH2181 prostitution,H2181 and IsraelH3478 is defiled.H2930
4
They will not frameH5414 their doingsH4611 to turnH7725 to their God:H430 for the spiritH7307 of prostitutionsH2183 is in the middleH7130 of them, and they have not knownH3045 the LORD.H3068
5
And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 does testifyH6030 to his face:H6440 therefore shall IsraelH3478 and EphraimH669 fallH3782 in their iniquity:H5771 JudahH3063 alsoH1571 shall fallH3782 with them.
6
They shall goH3212 with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 the LORD;H3068 but they shall not findH4672 him; he has withdrawnH2502 himself from them.
7
They have dealt treacherouslyH898 against the LORD:H3068 for they have begottenH3205 strangeH2114 children:H1121 nowH6258 shall a monthH2320 devourH398 them with their portions.H2506
8
BlowH8628 you the cornetH7782 in Gibeah,H1390 and the trumpetH2689 in Ramah:H7414 cryH7321 aloudH7321 at Bethaven,H1007 afterH310 you, O Benjamin.H1144
9
EphraimH669 shall be desolateH8047 in the dayH3117 of rebuke:H8433 among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 have I made knownH3045 that which shall surelyH539 be.
10
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 were like them that removeH5253 the bound:H1366 therefore I will pourH8210 out my wrathH5678 on them like water.H4325
11
EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgment,H4941 becauseH3588 he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandment.H6673
12
Therefore will I be to EphraimH669 as a moth,H6211 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 as rottenness.H7538
13
When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sickness,H2483 and JudahH3063 saw his wound,H4205 then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the Assyrian,H804 and sentH7971 to kingH4428 Jareb:H3377 yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, norH3808 cureH1455 you of your wound.H4205
14
For I will be to EphraimH669 as a lion,H7826 and as a youngH3715 lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of Judah:H3063 I, even I, will tearH2963 and goH3212 away; I will takeH5375 away, and noneH369 shall rescueH5337 him.
15
I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my place,H4725 tillH5704 they acknowledge their offense,H816 and seekH1245 my face:H6440 in their afflictionH6862 they will seekH7836 me early.H7836
