1 # Hear <08085> (8798) ye this, O priests <03548>; and hearken <07181> (8685), ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>; and give ye ear <0238> (8685), O house <01004> of the king <04428>; for judgment <04941> is toward you, because ye have been a snare <06341> on Mizpah <04709>, and a net <07568> spread <06566> (8803) upon Tabor <08396>.
2 And the revolters <07846> are profound <06009> (8689) to make slaughter <07819> (8800), though I have been a rebuker <04148> of them all.
3 I know <03045> (8804) Ephraim <0669>, and Israel <03478> is not hid <03582> (8738) from me: for now, O Ephraim <0669>, thou committest whoredom <02181> (8689), and Israel <03478> is defiled <02930> (8738).
4 They will not frame <05414> (8799) their doings <04611> to turn <07725> (8800) unto their God <0430> : for the spirit <07307> of whoredoms <02183> is in the midst <07130> of them, and they have not known <03045> (8804) the LORD <03068>.
5 And the pride <01347> of Israel <03478> doth testify <06030> (8804) to his face <06440>: therefore shall Israel <03478> and Ephraim <0669> fall <03782> (8735) in their iniquity <05771>; Judah <03063> also shall fall <03782> (8804) with them.
6 They shall go <03212> (8799) with their flocks <06629> and with their herds <01241> to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD <03068>; but they shall not find <04672> (8799) him; he hath withdrawn <02502> (8804) himself from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously <0898> (8804) against the LORD <03068>: for they have begotten <03205> (8804) strange <02114> (8801) children <01121>: now shall a month <02320> devour <0398> (8799) them with their portions <02506> .
8 # Blow <08628> (8798) ye the cornet <07782> in Gibeah <01390>, and the trumpet <02689> in Ramah <07414>: cry aloud <07321> (8685) at Bethaven <01007>, after <0310> thee, O Benjamin <01144>.
9 Ephraim <0669> shall be desolate <08047> in the day <03117> of rebuke <08433>: among the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> have I made known <03045> (8689) that which shall surely be <0539> (8737).
10 The princes <08269> of Judah <03063> were like them that remove <05253> (8688) the bound <01366>: therefore I will pour out <08210> (8799) my wrath <05678> upon them like water <04325>.
11 Ephraim <0669> is oppressed <06231> (8803) and broken <07533> (8803) in judgment <04941> , because he willingly <02974> (8689) walked <01980> (8804) after <0310> the commandment <06673>.
12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim <0669> as a moth <06211>, and to the house <01004> of Judah <03063> as rottenness <07538>.
13 When Ephraim <0669> saw <07200> (8799) his sickness <02483>, and Judah <03063> saw his wound <04205> , then went <03212> (8799) Ephraim <0669> to the Assyrian <0804>, and sent <07971> (8799) to king <04428> Jareb <03377> (8677) <07378> (8799): yet could <03201> (8799) he not heal <07495> (8800) you, nor cure <01455> (8799) you of your wound <04205>.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim <0669> as a lion <07826>, and as a young lion <03715> to the house <01004> of Judah <03063>: I, even I, will tear <02963> (8799) and go away <03212> (8799); I will take away <05375> (8799), and none shall rescue <05337> (8688) him.
15 I will go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) to my place <04725>, till they acknowledge their offence <0816> (8799), and seek <01245> (8765) my face <06440>: in their affliction <06862> they will seek me early <07836> (8762).
