Hosea 5 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

And the revolters ^H7846 have dug ^H6009 deep ^H6009 into slaughtering ^H7819,

But I will chastise ^H4148 all ^H3605 of them.

I know ^H3045 Ephraim ^H669, and Israel ^H3478 is not hidden ^H3582 from Me;

For now ^H6258, O Ephraim ^H669, you have played ^H2181 the ^H2181 harlot ^H2181;

Israel ^H3478 has defiled ^H2930 itself.

Their deeds ^H4611 will not allow ^H5414 them

To return ^H7725 to their God ^H430.

For a spirit ^H7307 of harlotry ^H2183 is within ^H7130 them,

And they do not know ^H3045 Yahweh ^H3068.

Moreover, the pride ^H1347 of Israel ^H3478 answers ^H6030 against ^H6440 him,

And Israel ^H3478 and Ephraim ^H669 stumble ^H3782 in their iniquity ^H5771;

Judah ^H3063 also ^H1571 has stumbled ^H3782 with them.

They will go ^H1980 with their flocks ^H6629 and herds ^H1241

To seek ^H1245 Yahweh ^H3068, but they will not find ^H4672 Him;

He has withdrawn ^H2502 from them.

They have dealt ^H898 treacherously ^H898 against Yahweh ^H3068,

For they have borne ^H3205 children ^H1121 of strangers ^H2114.

Now ^H6258 the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320 will devour ^H398 them with their portions ^H2506.

Blow ^H8628 the horn ^H7782 in Gibeah ^H1390,

The trumpet ^H2689 in Ramah ^H7414.

Make ^H7321 a ^H7321 loud ^H7321 shout ^H7321 at Beth-aven ^H1007:

“Behind ^H310 you, Benjamin ^H1144!”

Ephraim ^H669 will become ^H1961 a desolation ^H8047 in the day ^H3117 of reproof ^H8433;

Among the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 I will make ^H3045 known ^H3045 what is true ^H539.

The princes ^H8269 of Judah ^H3063 have become ^H1961 like those who move ^H5472 a boundary ^H1366;

On them I will pour ^H8210 out ^H8210 My wrath ^H5678 like water ^H4325.

Ephraim ^H669 is oppressed ^H6231, crushed ^H7533 in judgment ^H4941,

Because ^H3588 he was ^H2974 determined ^H2974 to [fn]walk ^H1980 after ^H310 man’s command ^H6673.

Therefore I am like a moth ^H6211 to Ephraim ^H669

And like rottenness ^H7538 to the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063.

Then Ephraim ^H669 saw ^H7200 his sickness ^H2483,

And Judah ^H3063 his sore ^H4205,

So Ephraim ^H669 went ^H1980 to Assyria ^H804

And sent ^H7971 to [fn]King ^H4428 Jareb ^H3377.

But he is ^H3201 unable ^H3808 H3201 to heal ^H7495 you

Or to cure ^H1455 you of your sore ^H4205.

For I will be like a lion ^H7826 to Ephraim ^H669

And like a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715 to the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063.

I, even I, will tear ^H2963 to ^H2963 pieces ^H2963 and go ^H1980 away;

I will carry ^H5375 away, and there ^H369 will ^H369 be ^H369 none ^H369 to deliver ^H5337.

I will go ^H1980 away and return ^H7725 to My place ^H4725

Until ^H5704 H834 they [fn]acknowledge ^H816 their guilt ^H816 and seek ^H1245 My face ^H6440;

In their affliction ^H6862 they will seek ^H7836 Me earnestly ^H7836.
