Hosea 5:11

The Priests Are A Snare

¹⁰ The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary;
On them I will pour out My wrath like water.
¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,
Because he was determined to follow man’s command.
¹² Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim
And like rottenness to the house of Judah.

And exact a tribute of grain from them,
