Hosea 5:2

The Priests Are A Snare

¹ Hear this, O you priests and pay attention, O house of Israel. Give ear (listen)! O house of the king the judgment is about you. You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread upon Tabor. ² The revolters have gone deep in depravity,
But I will chastise all of them.
³ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. O Ephraim, you have played the harlot and Israel is defiled.
