Hear
ye
this,
O
priests;
and
hearken,
ye
house
of
Israel;
and
give
ye
ear,
O
house
of
the
king;
for
judgment
[is]
toward
you,
because
ye
have
been
a
snare
on
Mizpah,
and
a
net
spread
upon
Tabor.
2
And
the
revolters
are
profound
to
make
slaughter,
though
I
[have
been]
a
rebuker
of
them
all.
3
I
know
Ephraim,
and
Israel
is
not
hid
from
me:
for
now,
O
Ephraim,
thou
committest
whoredom,
[and]
Israel
is
defiled.
4
They
will
not
frame
their
doings
to
turn
unto
their
God:
for
the
spirit
of
whoredoms
[is]
in
the
midst
of
them,
and
they
have
not
known
the
LORD.
5
And
the
pride
of
Israel
doth
testify
to
his
face:
therefore
shall
Israel
and
Ephraim
fall
in
their
iniquity;
Judah
also
shall
fall
with
them.
6
They
shall
go
with
their
flocks
and
with
their
herds
to
seek
the
LORD;
but
they
shall
not
find
[him];
he
hath
withdrawn
himself
from
them.
7
They
have
dealt
treacherously
against
the
LORD:
for
they
have
begotten
strange
children:
now
shall
a
month
devour
them
with
their
portions.
8
Blow
ye
the
cornet
in
Gibeah,
[and]
the
trumpet
in
Ramah:
cry
aloud
[at]
Bethaven,
after
thee,
O
Benjamin.
9
Ephraim
shall
be
desolate
in
the
day
of
rebuke:
among
the
tribes
of
Israel
have
I
made
known
that
which
shall
surely
10
The
princes
of
Judah
were
like
them
that
remove
the
bound:
[therefore]
I
will
pour
out
my
wrath
upon
them
like
water.
11
Ephraim
[is]
oppressed
[and]
broken
in
judgment,
because
he
willingly
walked
after
the
commandment.
12
Therefore
[will]
I
[be]
unto
Ephraim
as
a
moth,
and
to
the
house
of
Judah
as
rottenness.
13
When
Ephraim
saw
his
sickness,
and
Judah
[saw]
his
wound,
then
went
Ephraim
to
the
Assyrian,
and
sent
to
king
Jareb:
yet
could
he
not
heal
you,
nor
cure
you
of
your
wound.
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
none
shall
rescue
[him].
15
I
will
go
[and]
return
to
my
place,
till
they
acknowledge
their
offence,
and
seek
my
face:
in
their
affliction
they
will
seek
me
early.
