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 He has withdrawn himself from them.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.”

King James w/Strong’s #s

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.
