Hosea 5:1-5
Punishment Coming for Israel and Judah
1 aHear this, O priests!Pay attention, O house of Israel!
Give ear, O house of the king!
For the judgment is for you;
for byou have been a snare at Mizpah
and a net spread upon cTabor.
2And dthe revolters ehave gone deep into slaughter,
but fI will discipline all of them.
3 gI know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from me;
for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;
Israel is defiled.
4 hTheir deeds do not permit them
to return to their God.
For ithe spirit of whoredom is within them,
and they know not the Lord.
5 jThe pride of Israel testifies to his face; ▼
▼Or in his presence
Israel and lEphraim shall stumble in his guilt;
mJudah also shall stumble with them.
