\v 1 "Hear this, priests!
|
|
\q Pay attention, house of Israel!
|
|
\q Listen, house of the king!
|
|
\q For judgment is coming against you all.
|
|
\q You have been a snare at Mizpah
|
|
\q and a net spread over Tabor.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter,
|
|
\q but I will discipline all of them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 I know Ephraim,
|
|
\q and Israel is not hidden from me.
|
|
\q Ephraim, now you have become like a prostitute;
|
|
\q Israel is defiled.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to me, their God,
|
|
\q for the spirit of adultery is in them,
|
|
\q and they do not know me, Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 The pride of Israel testifies against him;
|
|
\q so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt;
|
|
\q and Judah also will stumble with them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh,
|
|
\q but they will not find him,
|
|
\q for he has withdrawn himself from them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh,
|
|
\q for they have borne illegitimate children.
|
|
\q Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields.
|
|
|

\s5

|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Blow the horn in Gibeah,
|
|
\q and the trumpet in Ramah.
|
|
\q Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven:
|
|
\q 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment.
|
|
\q Among the tribes of Israel I have declared what is certain to happen.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone.
|
|
\q I will pour my wrath on them like water.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Ephraim is crushed;
|
|
\q he is crushed in judgment,
|
|
\q because he was determined to bow down to idols.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 So I will be like a moth to Ephraim,
|
|
\q and like rot to the house of Judah.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
|
|
\q and Judah saw his wound,
|
|
\q then Ephraim went to Assyria,
|
|
\q and Judah sent messengers to the great king.
|
|
\q But he was not able to cure you people
|
|
\q or heal your wound.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 So I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
|
|
\q and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
|
|
\q I, even I, will tear and go away;
|
|
\q I will carry them off,
|
|
\q and there will be no one to rescue them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 I will go and return to my place,
|
|
\q until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,
|
|
\q until they earnestly seek me in their distress."
