HOSEA
Chapter 5
| Hose | JPS | 5:1 | Hear this, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:2 | And they that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected of them all. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:3 | I, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, Israel is defiled. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:4 | Their doings will not suffer them to return unto their G-d; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not HaShem. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:5 | But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:6 | With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek HaShem, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:7 | They have dealt treacherously against HaShem, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:8 | Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm at Beth-aven: 'Behind thee, O Benjamin!' | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:9 | Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:10 | The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark; I will pour out My wrath upon them like water. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:13 | And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound. | |
| Hose | JPS | 5:14 | For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, and there shall be none to deliver. | |
