5:1 Hear
this,
O
priests!
Pay
attention,
O
house
of
Israel!
Give
ear,
O
house
of
the
king!
For
the
judgment
is
for
you;
for
you
have
been
a
snare
at
Mizpah
and
a
net
spread
upon
Tabor.
5:2 And
the
revolters
have
gone
deep
into
slaughter,
but
I
will
discipline
all
of
them.
5:3 I
know
Ephraim,
and
Israel
is
not
hidden
from
me;
for
now,
O
Ephraim,
you
have
played
the
whore;
Israel
is
defiled.
5:4 Their
deeds
do
not
permit
them
to
return
to
their
God.
For
the
spirit
of
whoredom
is
within
them,
and
they
know
not
the
LORD.
5:5 The
pride
of
Israel
testifies
to
his
face;
Israel
and
Ephraim
shall
stumble
in
his
guilt;
Judah
also
shall
stumble
with
them.
5:6 With
their
flocks
and
herds
they
shall
go
to
seek
the
LORD,
but
they
will
not
find
him;
he
has
withdrawn
from
them.
5:7 They
have
dealt
faithlessly
with
the
LORD;
for
they
have
borne
alien
children.
Now
the
new
moon
shall
devour
them
with
their
fields.
5:8 Blow
the
horn
in
Gibeah,
the
trumpet
in
Ramah.
Sound
the
alarm
at
Beth-aven;
we
follow
you,
O
Benjamin!
5:9 Ephraim
shall
become
a
desolation
in
the
day
of
punishment;
among
the
tribes
of
Israel
I
make
known
what
is
sure.
5:10 The
princes
of
Judah
have
become
like
those
who
move
the
landmark;
upon
them
I
will
pour
out
my
wrath
like
water.
5:11 Ephraim
is
oppressed,
crushed
in
judgment,
because
he
was
determined
to
go
after
filth.
5:12 But
I
am
like
a
moth
to
Ephraim,
and
like
dry
rot
to
the
house
of
Judah.
5:13 When
Ephraim
saw
his
sickness,
and
Judah
his
wound,
then
Ephraim
went
to
Assyria,
and
sent
to
the
great
king.
But
he
is
not
able
to
cure
you
or
heal
your
wound.
5:14 For
I
will
be
like
a
lion
to
Ephraim,
and
like
a
young
lion
to
the
house
of
Judah.
I,
even
I,
will
tear
and
go
away;
I
will
carry
off,
and
no
one
shall
rescue.
5:15 I
will
return
again
to
my
place,
until
they
acknowledge
their
guilt
and
seek
my
face,
and
in
their
distress
earnestly
seek
me.
