Oseas 5,1-15
Chapter V.
1 Gods iudgements against the Priests, the people, and the princes of Israel for their manifold sinnes, 15 vntill they repent.
1 Heare yee this, O priests, and hearken, ye house of Israel, and giue yee eare, O house of the king: for iudgement is toward you, because yee haue beene a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread vpon Tabor.
2 And the reuolters are profound to make slaughter, [ Or, and, etc.] though I haue bene [ Hebrew: a correction.] a rebuker of them all.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whordome, and Israel is defiled.
4 [ Hebrew: they will not giue.] They will not frame their [ Or, their doings will not suffer them.] doings to turne vnto their God: for the spirit of whoredomes is in the midst of them, and they haue not knowen the Lord.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testifie to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Iudah also shall fall with them.
6 They shall goe with their flocks, and with their heards to seeke the Lord: but they shall not finde him, he hath withdrawen himselfe from them.
7 They haue dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they haue begotten strange children, now shall a
[God smiteth, etc.]
moneth deuoure them with their portions.
8 Blow yee the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry alowd at Beth-auen: after thee, O Beniamin.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel haue I made knowen that which shall surely be.
10 The Princes of Iudah were like them that remooue the bound: therefore I will powre out my wrath vpon them like water.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, and broken in iudgement: because he willingly walked after the commandement.
12 Therefore wil I be vnto Ephraim as a moth: and to the house of Iudah as [ Or, a worme.] rottennesse.
13 When Ephraim saw his sicknesse, and Iudah saw his wound: then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent [ Or, to the king of Iareb. Or, to the king that should plead .] to king Iareb; yet could he not heale you, nor cure you of your wound.
14 For I will bee vnto Ephraim as a Lion, and as a yong Lion to the house of Iudah: I, euen I wil teare and goe away: I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
15 I will goe and returne to my place, [ Hebrew: till they be guiltie.] till they acknowledge their offence, and seeke my face: in their affliction they will seeke me early.
