== Hoshea (Book of Hosea), Chapter 5 ==

<named id="1"/>1 Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

<named id="2"/>2 And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all.

<named id="3"/>3 I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled.

<named id="4"/>4 Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their G-d; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not HaShem.

<named id="5"/>5 But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.

<named id="6"/>6 With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek HaShem, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.

<named id="7"/>7 They have dealt treacherously against HaShem, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.

<named id="8"/>8 Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!'

<named id="9"/>9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.

<named id="10"/>10 The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water.

<named id="11"/>11 Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.

<named id="12"/>12 Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

<named id="13"/>13 And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.

<named id="14"/>14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and there shall be none to deliver.

<named id="15"/>15 I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
