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He has withdrawn Himself from them.
| << Hosea 5:2 | Hosea 5:4 >> |
