Hosea 5:1-5
Revised Standard Version
Impending Judgment on Israel and Judah
5 Hear this, O priests!
Give heed, O house of Israel!
Hearken, O house of the king!
For the judgment pertains to you;
for you have been a snare at Mizpah,
and a net spread upon Tabor.
2 And they have made deep the pit of Shittim;[a]
but I will chastise all of them.
3 I know E′phraim,
and Israel is not hid from me;
for now, O E′phraim, you have played the harlot,
Israel is defiled.
4 Their deeds do not permit them
to return to their God.
For the spirit of harlotry is within them,
and they know not the Lord.
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
E′phraim [b] shall stumble in his guilt;
Judah also shall stumble with them.
