Osee 5
1 Hear these things, ye priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and hearken, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because ye have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,
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 which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.
And slaughtering rebels they have made deep and I [am] discipline to all of them.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.
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 They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known 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 shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.
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6 They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
With flock[s] their and with herd[s] their they will go to seek Yahweh and not they will find [him] he has withdrawn from them.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 For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.
With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
8 Blow ye the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim has come to nought in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
10 The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as 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 altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
[is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
12 Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
13 And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
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 Wherefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
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 and return to my place, until they are brought to nought, and [then] shall they seek my face.
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.
