ABP - Hosea - 5

5:1  Hear these things, O priests! And take heed, O house of Israel! And [2O house 3of the 4king 1give ear]! For [3against 4you 2is 1judgment]. For [2a snare 1you were] in the Height, and as a net being stretched out upon Tabor,

5:2  which the ones catching the game firmly fastened; but I am your corrector.

5:3  I knew Ephraim, and Israel is not removed from me. For now Ephraim fornicated; Israel was defiled.

5:4  They gave not their deliberations to turn towards their God. For a spirit of harlotry is in the midst of them, and the lord they knew not.

5:5  And [4shall be humbled 1the 2insolence 3of Israel] unto his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall weaken in their iniquities; and [3shall be weak 2also 1Judah] with them.

5:6  With sheep and calves they shall go to seek after the lord, and in no way should they find him; he has turned aside from them.

5:7  For [2the 3 lord 1they abandoned]; for [2children 1alien] were born to them. Now [3shall devour 4them 1the 2blight] and their lots of heritage.

5:8  Trump the trumpet upon the hills! Sound out upon the high places! Proclaim in the house of On! Benjamin is startled.

5:9  Ephraim [2for 3extinction 1became] in the days of reproof. Among the tribes of Israel I showed to be trustworthy.

5:10  [4became 1The 2rulers 3of Judah] as ones altering boundaries. Upon them I will pour out [2as 3water 1my impulse].

5:11  Ephraim tyrannized over his opponent; he trampled judgment, for he began to go after the vain things.

5:12  And I will be as a disturbance to Ephraim, and as a spur to the house of Judah.

5:13  And Ephraim beheld his disease, and Judah his grief. And Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent ambassadors to king Jareb; and he was not able to rescue; and in no way should there be a discontinuance of your grief.

5:14  For I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Judah. And I will seize by force, and I will go, and I will take, and there shall not be one rescuing.

5:15  I shall go and return unto my place until of which time they should be removed from view; and they shall seek my face.
