Hosea 5

NASB

Hosea 5

The People’s Apostasy Rebuked

^{Tools
1}

Hear this, O priests!
Give heed, O house of Israel!
Listen, O house of the king!
For the judgment applies to you,
For you have been a ^(A)snare at Mizpah
And a net spread out on Tabor.

^{Tools
2}

The ^(B)revolters have ^(a)^(C)gone deep in depravity,
But I will chastise all of them.

^{Tools
3}

I ^(D)know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me;
For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot,
Israel has defiled itself.

^{Tools
4}

Their deeds will not allow them
To return to their God.
For a ^(E)spirit of harlotry is within them,
And they ^(F)do not know the Lord.

^{Tools
5}

Moreover, the ^(G)pride of Israel testifies against him,
And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
^(H)Judah also has stumbled with them.

^{Tools
6}

They will ^(I)go with their flocks and herds
To seek the Lord, but they will ^(J)not find Him;
He has ^(K)withdrawn from them.

^{Tools
7}

They have ^(L)dealt treacherously against the Lord,
For they have borne ^(b)^(M)illegitimate children.
Now the ^(N)new moon will devour them with their ^(c)land.

^{Tools
8}

^(O)Blow the horn in ^(P)Gibeah,
The trumpet in Ramah.
Sound an alarm at Beth-aven:
“^(Q)Behind you, Benjamin!”

^{Tools
9}

Ephraim will become a ^(R)desolation in the ^(S)day of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I ^(T)declare what is sure.

^{Tools
10}

The princes of Judah have become like those who ^(U)move a boundary;
On them I will ^(V)pour out My wrath ^(W)like water.

^{Tools
11}

Ephraim is ^(X)oppressed, crushed in judgment,
^(Y)Because he was determined to ^(d)follow man’s command.

^{Tools
12}

Therefore I am like a ^(Z)moth to Ephraim
And like rottenness to the house of Judah.

^{Tools
13}

When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah his ^(e)wound,
Then Ephraim went to ^(AA)Assyria
And sent to ^(f)^(AB)King Jareb.
But he is ^(AC)unable to heal you,
Or to cure you of your ^(g)wound.

^{Tools
14}

For I will be ^(AD)like a lion to Ephraim
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
^(AE)I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away,
I will carry away, and there will be ^(AF)none to deliver.

^{Tools
15}

I will go away and return to My place
Until they ^(h)^(AG)acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly ^(AH)seek Me.
