< Hosea 5 >

1 Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
Hear this O priests and pay attention - O house of Israel and O house of the king give ear for [belongs] to you the judgment for a trap you have been to Mizpah and a net spread out over Tabor.
2 They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
3 I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
I I know Ephraim and Israel not it is hidden from me for now you have prostituted yourself O Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
4 Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
Not they permit deeds their to return to God their for a spirit of prostitution [is] in inner being their and Yahweh not they know.
5 And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and Israel and Ephraim they will stumble on iniquity their it will stumble also Judah with them.
6 They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.
7 They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
8 Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.
Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
10 The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.
They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
11 Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
[is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
12 And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
13 When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
And he saw Ephraim sickness his and Judah wound his and he went Ephraim to Assyria and he sent to king Jareb and he not he is able to heal you and not it will depart from you [the] wound.
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
For I [will be] like lion to Ephraim and like young lion to [the] house of Judah I I I will tear to pieces and I may go I will carry off and there not [will be] a deliverer.
15 I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
I will go I will return to place my until that they will be held guilty and they will seek face my when it is distress to them they will seek earnestly me.
