1 H earH8085 this, O ye priests,H3548 and hearken,H7181 O houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 and give ear,H238 O houseH1004 of the king;H4428 for unto you pertaineth the judgment;H4941 for ye have been a snareH6341 at Mizpah,H4709 and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon Tabor.H8396
2 And the revoltersH7846 are gone deepH6009 in making slaughter;H7819 but I am a rebukerH4148 of them all.
3 I knowH3045 Ephraim,H669 and IsraelH3478 is not hidH3582 from me; for now, O Ephraim,H669 thou hast played the harlot,H2181 IsraelH3478 is defiled.H2930
4 Their doingsH4611 will not sufferH5414 them to turnH7725 unto their God;H430 for the spiritH7307 of whoredomH2183 is withinH7130 them, and they knowH3045 not Jehovah.H3068
5 And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his face:H6440 therefore IsraelH3478 and EphraimH669 shall stumbleH3782 in their iniquity;H5771 JudahH3063 also shall stumbleH3782 with them.
6 They shall goH3212 with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 Jehovah;H3068 but they shall not findH4672 him: he hath withdrawnH2502 himself from them.
7 They have dealt treacherouslyH898 against Jehovah;H3068 for they have borneH3205 strangeH2114 children:H1121 now shall the new moonH2320 devourH398 them with their fields.H2506
8 BlowH8628 ye the cornetH7782 in Gibeah,H1390 and the trumpetH2689 in Ramah:H7414 sound an alarmH7321 at Beth-aven;H1007 behindH310 thee, O Benjamin.H1144
9 EphraimH669 shall become a desolationH8047 in the dayH3117 of rebuke:H8433 among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 have I made knownH3045 that which shall surely be.H539
10 The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 are like them that removeH5253 the landmark:H1366 I will pour outH8210 my wrathH5678 upon them like water.H4325
11 EphraimH669 is oppressed,H6231 he is crushedH7533 in judgment;H4941 because he was contentH2974 to walkH1980 afterH310 [man's] command.H6673
12 Therefore am I unto 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 Assyria,H804 and sentH7971 to kingH4428 Jareb:H3377 but he is not ableH3201 to healH7495 you, neither will he cureH1455 you of your wound.H4205
14 For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lion,H7826 and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of Judah:H3063 I, even I, will tearH2963 and go away;H3212 I will carry off,H5375 and there shall be none to deliver.H5337
15 I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my place,H4725 till they acknowledge their offence,H816 and seekH1245 my face:H6440 in their afflictionH6862 they will seek me earnestly.H7836
