1 Hear 8085 ye this, O priests 3548; and hearken 7181, ye house 1004 of Israel 3478; and give ye ear 238, O house 1004 of the king 4428; for judgment 4941 is toward you, because ye have been a snare 6341 on Mizpah 4709, and a net 7568 spread 6566 upon Tabor 8396.
2 And the revolters 7846 are profound 6009 to make slaughter 7819, though I have been a rebuker 4148 of them all.
3 I know 3045 Ephraim 669, and Israel 3478 is not hid 3582 from me: for now, O Ephraim 669, thou committest whoredom 2181, and Israel 3478 is defiled 2930.
4 They will not frame 5414 their doings 4611 to turn 7725 unto their God 430: for the spirit 7307 of whoredoms 2183 is in the midst 7130 of them, and they have not known 3045 the LORD 3068.
5 And the pride 1347 of Israel 3478 doth testify 6030 to his face 6440: therefore shall Israel 3478 and Ephraim 669 fall 3782 in their iniquity 5771; Judah 3063 also shall fall 3782 with them.
6 They shall go 3212 with their flocks 6629 and with their herds 1241 to seek 1245 the LORD 3068; but they shall not find 4672 him; he hath withdrawn 2502 himself from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously 898 against the LORD 3068: for they have begotten 3205 strange 2114 children 1121: now shall a month 2320 devour 398 them with their portions 2506.
8 Blow 8628 ye the cornet 7782 in Gibeah 1390, and the trumpet 2689 in Ramah 7414: cry aloud 7321 at Bethaven 1007, after 310 thee, O Benjamin 1144.
9 Ephraim 669 shall be desolate 8047 in the day 3117 of rebuke 8433: among the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 have I made known 3045 that which shall surely be 539.
10 The princes 8269 of Judah 3063 were like them that remove 5253 the bound 1366: therefore I will pour out 8210 my wrath 5678 upon them like water 4325.
11 Ephraim 669 is oppressed 6231 and broken 7533 in judgment 4941, because he willingly 2974 walked 1980 after 310 the commandment 6673.
12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim 669 as a moth 6211, and to the house 1004 of Judah 3063 as rottenness 7538.
13 When Ephraim 669 saw 7200 his sickness 2483, and Judah 3063 saw his wound 4205, then went 3212 Ephraim 669 to the Assyrian 804, and sent 7971 to king 4428 Jareb 3377 7378: yet could 3201 he not heal 7495 you, nor cure 1455 you of your wound 4205.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim 669 as a lion 7826, and as a young lion 3715 to the house 1004 of Judah 3063: I, even I, will tear 2963 and go away 3212; I will take away 5375, and none shall rescue 5337 him.
15 I will go 3212 and return 7725 to my place 4725, till they acknowledge their offence 816, and seek 1245 my face 6440: in their affliction 6862 they will seek me early 7836.
