Hosea 4:15

15 Though you play the whore, O ^aIsrael,
let not ^bJudah become guilty.
^cEnter not into ^dGilgal,
nor go up to ^eBeth-aven,
and swear not, “As the Lord lives.”

Hosea 5:5-14

5 ^fThe pride of Israel testifies to his face; ▼

▼Or in his presence

Israel and ^hEphraim shall stumble in his guilt;
ⁱJudah also shall stumble with them.
6 ^jWith their flocks and herds they shall go
to seek the Lord,
^kbut they will not find him;
^lhe has withdrawn from them.
7 ^mThey have dealt faithlessly with the Lord;
for they have borne alien children.
Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
8 ⁿBlow the horn in ^oGibeah,
the trumpet in ^pRamah.
Sound the alarm at ^qBeth-aven;
we follow you, ▼

▼Or after you

O Benjamin!
9Ephraim shall become a desolation
in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
I make known what is sure.
10The princes of Judah have become
like ^sthose who move the landmark;
upon them I will pour out
my wrath like water.
11Ephraim is ^toppressed, crushed in judgment,
because he was determined to go after filth. ▼

▼Or  to follow human precepts

12But I am ^vlike a moth to Ephraim,
and ^wlike dry rot to the house of Judah.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
and Judah ^xhis wound,
then Ephraim went ^yto Assyria,
and sent to the great king. ▼

▼Or  to King Jareb

^aaBut he is not able to cure you
or heal ^abyour wound.
14For I will be ^aclike a lion to ^adEphraim,
and like a young lion to the house of ^aeJudah.
^afI, even I, will tear and go away;
I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.

Hosea 6:10-11

10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
^agEphraim’s whoredom is there; ^ahIsrael is defiled.
11 For you also, O ^aiJudah, ^aja harvest is appointed.
When ^akI restore the fortunes of my people,

Hosea 8:14

14For ^alIsrael has forgotten ^amhis Maker
and ^anbuilt palaces,
and ^aoJudah has multiplied fortified cities;
so ^apI will send a fire upon his cities,
and it shall devour her strongholds.

Hosea 12:1-2

1Ephraim feeds on the wind
and pursues ^aqthe east wind all day long;
they multiply ^arfalsehood and violence;
^asthey make a covenant with Assyria,
and ^atoil is carried to Egypt.

The Lord’s Indictment of Israel and Judah

2 ^auThe Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
he will repay him according to his deeds.

Amos 2:4-8

Judgment on Judah

4Thus says the Lord:

^av“For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^awthey have rejected the law of the Lord,
and have not kept his statutes,
but ^axtheir lies have led them astray,
those after which their fathers walked.
5So ^ayI will send a fire upon Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

6Thus says the Lord:

^az“For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^bathey sell the righteous for ^bbsilver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7those who trample the head of the poor ^bcinto the dust of the earth
and ^bdturn aside the way of the afflicted;
^bea man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments ^bftaken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.

Amos 3:1-2

Israel’s Guilt and Punishment

1 ^bgHear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:

2 ^bh“You only have I known
of all the families of the earth;
^bitherefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.

Amos 6:1

Woe to Those at Ease in Zion

1 ^bj“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on ^bkthe mountain of Samaria,
^blthe notable men of ^bmthe first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel comes!

Micah 1:5

5All this is for ^bnthe transgression of Jacob
and for the sins of the house of Israel.
^boWhat is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not ^bpSamaria?
And what is ^bqthe high place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
