Impending Judgment on Israel and Judah
Take heed, O house of Israel!
Give ear, O house of the king!
For1 yours is the judgment,
Because ayou have been a snare to Mizpah
And a net spread on Tabor.
And Israel is not hidden from Me;
For now, O Ephraim, byou commit harlotry;
Israel is defiled.
Toward turning to their God,
For athe spirit of harlotry is in their midst,
And they do not know the Lord.
Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.
aThey shall go to seek the Lord,
But they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.
For they have begotten1 pagan children.
Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.
The trumpet in Ramah!
bCry aloud at cBeth Aven,
‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’
Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.
I will pour out My wrath on them like water.
And Judah saw his awound,
Then Ephraim went bto Assyria
And sent to King Jareb;
Yet he cannot cure you,
Nor heal you of your wound.
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
bI, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
Till they1 acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
| << Hosea 4:19 | Hosea 5:2 >> |
