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.
2 And ^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.
