Hosea 5 (WEBP)

[1] “Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
[2] The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
[3] I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
[4] Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know Yahweh.
[5] The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
[6] They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh, but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
[7] They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
[8] “Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
[9] Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
[10] The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
[11] Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
[12] Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
[13] “When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
[14] For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
[15] I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

Hosea 5 (KJVS)

[1] Hear () ye this, O priests; and hearken, () ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, () O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread () upon Tabor.
[2] And the revolters are profound () to make slaughter, () though I have been a rebuker of them all.
[3] I know () Ephraim, and Israel is not hid () from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, () and Israel is defiled. ()
[4] They will not frame () their doings to turn () unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known () the Lord.
[5] And the pride of Israel doth testify () to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall () in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall () with them.
[6] They shall go () with their flocks and with their herds to seek () the Lord; but they shall not find () him; he hath withdrawn () himself from them.
[7] They have dealt treacherously () against the Lord: for they have begotten () strange () children: now shall a month devour () them with their portions.
[8] Blow () ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud () at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
[9] Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known () that which shall surely be. ()
[10] The princes of Judah were like them that remove () the bound: therefore I will pour out () my wrath upon them like water.
[11] Ephraim is oppressed () and broken () in judgment, because he willingly () walked () after the commandment.
[12] Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
[13] When Ephraim saw () his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went () Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent () to king Jareb: () () yet could () he not heal () you, nor cure () you of your wound.
[14] For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear () and go away; () I will take away, () and none shall rescue () him.
[15] I will go () and return () to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, () and seek () my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. ()

Hosea 5 (BYZ)

[1] ακουσατε ταυτα οι ιερεις και προσεχετε οικος ισραηλ και ο οικος του βασιλεως ενωτιζεσθε διοτι προς υμας εστιν το κριμα οτι παγις εγενηθητε τη σκοπια και ως δικτυον εκτεταμενον επι το ιταβυριον
[2] ο οι αγρευοντες την θηραν κατεπηξαν εγω δε παιδευτης υμων
[3] εγω εγνων τον εφραιμ και ισραηλ ουκ απεστιν απ εμου διοτι νυν εξεπορνευσεν εφραιμ εμιανθη ισραηλ
[4] ουκ εδωκαν τα διαβουλια αυτων του επιστρεψαι προς τον θεον αυτων οτι πνευμα πορνειας εν αυτοις εστιν τον δε κυριον ουκ επεγνωσαν
[5] και ταπεινωθησεται η υβρις του ισραηλ εις προσωπον αυτου και ισραηλ και εφραιμ ασθενησουσιν εν ταις αδικιαις αυτων και ασθενησει και ιουδας μετ αυτων
[6] μετα προβατων και μοσχων πορευσονται του εκζητησαι τον κυριον και ου μη ευρωσιν αυτον οτι εξεκλινεν απ αυτων
[7] οτι τον κυριον εγκατελιπον οτι τεκνα αλλοτρια εγεννηθησαν αυτοις νυν καταφαγεται αυτους η ερυσιβη και τους κληρους αυτων
[8] σαλπισατε σαλπιγγι επι τους βουνους ηχησατε επι των υψηλων κηρυξατε εν τω οικω ων εξεστη βενιαμιν
[9] εφραιμ εις αφανισμον εγενετο εν ημεραις ελεγχου εν ταις φυλαις του ισραηλ εδειξα πιστα
[10] εγενοντο οι αρχοντες ιουδα ως μετατιθεντες ορια επ αυτους εκχεω ως υδωρ το ορμημα μου
[11] κατεδυναστευσεν εφραιμ τον αντιδικον αυτου κατεπατησεν κριμα οτι ηρξατο πορευεσθαι οπισω των ματαιων
[12] και εγω ως ταραχη τω εφραιμ και ως κεντρον τω οικω ιουδα
[13] και ειδεν εφραιμ την νοσον αυτου και ιουδας την οδυνην αυτου και επορευθη εφραιμ προς ασσυριους και απεστειλεν πρεσβεις προς βασιλεα ιαριμ και αυτος ουκ ηδυνασθη ιασασθαι υμας και ου μη διαπαυση εξ υμων οδυνη
[14] διοτι εγω ειμι ως πανθηρ τω εφραιμ και ως λεων τω οικω ιουδα και εγω αρπωμαι και πορευσομαι και λημψομαι και ουκ εσται ο εξαιρουμενος
[15] πορευσομαι και επιστρεψω εις τον τοπον μου εως ου αφανισθωσιν και επιζητησουσιν το προσωπον μου εν θλιψει αυτων ορθριουσι προς με λεγοντες
