Hosea 5:2

The Priests Are A Snare

¹ O ye priests, hear this; take heed, O thou household of Israel; give ear, O thou kingly house. For this punishment will come upon you, that are become a snare unto Mizphah, and a spread net unto the mount of Tabor. ² They kill sacrifices by heaps, to beguile the people therewith: therefore will I punish them all. ³ I know Ephraim well enough, and Israel is not hid from me: for Ephraim is become a harlot, and Israel is defiled.
