Hear
ye this, O priests;
and hearken,
ye house
of Israel;
and give ye ear,
O house
of the king;
for judgment
is toward you, because ye have been a snare
on Mizpah,
and a net
spread
upon Tabor.

And the revolters
are profound
to make slaughter,
though I have been a rebuker
of them all.
I know
Ephraim,
and Israel
is not hid
from me: for now, O Ephraim,
thou committest whoredom,
and Israel
is defiled.
They will not frame
their doings
to turn
unto their God:
for the spirit
of whoredoms
is in the midst
of them, and they have not known
the LORD.

And the pride
of Israel
doth testify
to his face:
therefore shall Israel
and Ephraim
fall
in their iniquity;
Judah
also shall fall
with them.
They shall go
with their flocks
and with their herds
to seek
the LORD;
but they shall not find
him; he hath withdrawn
himself from them.
They have dealt treacherously
against the LORD:
for they have begotten
strange
children:
now shall a month
devour
them with their portions.
Blow
ye the cornet
in Gibeah,
and the trumpet
in Ramah:
cry aloud
at Bethaven,
after
thee, O Benjamin.
Ephraim
shall be desolate
in the day
of rebuke:
among the tribes
of Israel
have I made known
that which shall surely be.
The princes
of Judah
were like them that remove
the bound:
therefore I will pour out
my wrath
upon them like water.
Ephraim
is oppressed
and broken
in judgment,
because he willingly
walked
after
the commandment.
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim
as a moth,
and to the house
of Judah
as rottenness.
When Ephraim
saw
his sickness,
and Judah
saw his wound,
then went
Ephraim
to the Assyrian,
and sent
to king
Jareb:
yet could
he not heal
you, nor cure
you of your wound.

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 none shall rescue
him.

I will go
and return
to my place,
till they acknowledge their offence,
and seek
my face:
in their affliction
they will seek me early.
