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 He has withdrawn himself from them.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] Bethaven, 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. ()

Young’s Literal Translation

Hosea 5 (YLT)

[1] ‘Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment is for you, For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
[2] And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I am a fetter to them all.
[3] I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.
[4] They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms is in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.
[5] And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.
[6] With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
[7] Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month with their portions.
[8] Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
[9] Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
[10] Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
[11] Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
[12] And I am as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
[13] And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
[14] For I am as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I-I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.
[15] I go-I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!’
