Hosea 5:7

Hosea 5:7

5 The ^apride of Israel testifies to his face;
Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.

6 “With their flocks and herds
^aThey shall go to seek the Lord,
But they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.

7 They have ^adealt treacherously with the Lord,
For they have begotten¹ pagan children.
Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.

8 “Blow^a the ram’s horn in Gibeah,
The trumpet in Ramah!
^bCry aloud at ^cBeth Aven,
‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.

10 “The princes of Judah are like those who ^aremove a landmark;
I will pour out My wrath on them like water.

11 Ephraim is ^aoppressed and broken in judgment,
Because he willingly walked by ^bhuman precept.

<< Hosea 5:6

Hosea 5:8 >>

Now shall a month devour them - In a month' s time the king of Assyria shall be upon them, and oblige them to purchase their lives and liberties by a grievous tax of fifty shekels per head. This Menahem, king of Israel, gave to Pul, king of Assyria, II Kings 15:16-20. Instead of month, some translate the original locust. "The locusts shall devour them."
