Hosea 5:2

The Priests Are A Snare

¹ Hear this, priests!
Pay attention, house of Israel!
Listen, royal house!
For the judgment applies to you
because you have been a snare at Mizpah
and a net spread out on Tabor.
² Rebels are deeply involved in slaughter;
I will be a punishment for all of them.
³ I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from Me.
For now, Ephraim,
you have acted promiscuously;
Israel is defiled.
