Hosea 5 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Hos 5:2And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I am a fetter to them all.
Hos 5:3I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.

Hos 5:5And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.
Hos 5:6With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
Hos 5:7Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month with their portions.
Hos 5:8Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Hos 5:9Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.

Hos 5:12And I am as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
Hos 5:13And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
Hos 5:14For I am as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I -- I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.
Hos 5:15I go -- I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
