Hosea 5 (BSB)

Judgment on Israel and Judah

1“Hear this, O priests!
Take heed, O house of Israel!
Give ear, O royal house!
For this judgment is against you
because you have been a snare at Mizpah,
a net spread out on Tabor.
2The rebels are deep in slaughter;
but I will chastise them all.
3I know all about Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from Me.
For now, O Ephraim,
you have turned to prostitution;
Israel is defiled.

4Their deeds do not permit them
to return to their God,
for a spirit of prostitution is within them,
and they do not know the LORD.
5Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;
Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
even Judah stumbles with them.
6They go with their flocks and herds
to seek the LORD,
but they do not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.
7They have been unfaithful to the LORD;
for they have borne illegitimate children.
Now the New Moon
will devour them
along with their land.

8Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah,
the trumpet in Ramah;
raise the battle cry in Beth-aven:
Lead on, O Benjamin!
9Ephraim will be laid waste
on the day of rebuke.
Among the tribes of Israel
I proclaim what is certain.
10The princes of Judah
are like those who move boundary stones;
I will pour out My fury
upon them like water.
11Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,
for he is determined to follow worthless idols.
12So I am like a moth to Ephraim,
and like decay to the house of Judah.

13When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria
and sent to the great king.
But he cannot cure you
or heal your wound.
14For I am like a lion to Ephraim
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I, even I, will tear them to pieces
and then go away.
I will carry them off
where no one can rescue them.
15Then I will return to My place
until they admit their guilt and seek My face;
in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
