5:1 Hear 8085 8798 ye this, O priests 3548; and hearken 7181 8685, ye house 1004 of Israel 3478; and give ye ear 238 8685, O house 1004 of the king 4428; for judgment 4941 [is] toward you, because ye have been a snare 6341 on Mizpah 4709, and a net 7568 spread 6566 8803 upon Tabor 8396.

5:2 And the revolters 7846 are profound 6009 8689 to make slaughter 7819 8800, though I [have been] a rebuker 4148 of them all.(though: or, and)(a rebuker: Heb. a correction)

5:3 I know 3045 8804 Ephraim 669, and Israel 3478 is not hid 3582 8738 from me: for now, O Ephraim 669, thou committest whoredom 2181 8689, [and] Israel 3478 is defiled 2930 8738.

5:4 They will not frame 5414 8799 their doings 4611 to turn 7725 8800 unto their God 430: for the spirit 7307 of whoredoms 2183 [is] in the midst 7130 of them, and they have not known 3045 8804 the LORD 3068.(They will…: or, Their doings will not suffer them)(frame: Heb. give)

5:5 And the pride 1347 of Israel 3478 doth testify 6030 8804 to his face 6440: therefore shall Israel 3478 and Ephraim 669 fall 3782 8735 in their iniquity 5771; Judah 3063 also shall fall 3782 8804 with them.

5:6 They shall go 3212 8799 with their flocks 6629 and with their herds 1241 to seek 1245 8763 the LORD 3068; but they shall not find 4672 8799 [him]; he hath withdrawn 2502 8804 himself from them.

5:7 They have dealt treacherously 898 8804 against the LORD 3068: for they have begotten 3205 8804 strange 2114 8801 children 1121: now shall a month 2320 devour 398 8799 them with their portions 2506.

5:8 Blow 8628 8798 ye the cornet 7782 in Gibeah 1390, [and] the trumpet 2689 in Ramah 7414: cry aloud 7321 8685 [at] Bethaven 1007, after 310 thee, O Benjamin 1144.

5:9 Ephraim 669 shall be desolate 8047 in the day 3117 of rebuke 8433: among the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 have I made known 3045 8689 that which shall surely be 539 8737.

5:10 The princes 8269 of Judah 3063 were like them that remove 5253 8688 the bound 1366: [therefore] I will pour out 8210 8799 my wrath 5678 upon them like water 4325.

5:11 Ephraim 669 [is] oppressed 6231 8803 [and] broken 7533 8803 in judgment 4941, because he willingly 2974 8689 walked 1980 8804 after 310 the commandment 6673.

5:12 Therefore [will] I [be] unto Ephraim 669 as a moth 6211, and to the house 1004 of Judah 3063 as rottenness 7538.(rottenness: or, a worm)

5:13 When Ephraim 669 saw 7200 8799 his sickness 2483, and Judah 3063 [saw] his wound 4205, then went 3212 8799 Ephraim 669 to the Assyrian 804, and sent 7971 8799 to king 4428 Jareb 3377 8677 7378 8799: yet could 3201 8799 he not heal 7495 8800 you, nor cure 1455 8799 you of your wound 4205.(king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead)

5:14 For I [will be] unto Ephraim 669 as a lion 7826, and as a young lion 3715 to the house 1004 of Judah 3063: I, [even] I, will tear 2963 8799 and go away 3212 8799; I will take away 5375 8799, and none shall rescue 5337 8688 [him].

5:15 I will go 3212 8799 [and] return 7725 8799 to my place 4725, till they acknowledge their offence 816 8799, and seek 1245 8765 my face 6440: in their affliction 6862 they will seek me early 7836 8762.(acknowledge…: Heb. be guilty)
