Hosea 4:15-5:7
New King James Version
15 “Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
Let not Judah offend.
(A)Do not come up to Gilgal,
Nor go up to (B)Beth[a] Aven,
(C)Nor swear an oath, saying, ‘As the Lord lives’—
16 “For Israel (D)is stubborn
Like a stubborn calf;
Now the Lord will let them forage
Like a lamb in [b]open country.
17 “Ephraim is joined to idols,
(E)Let him alone.
18 Their drink [c]is rebellion,
They commit harlotry continually.
(F)Her [d]rulers [e]dearly love dishonor.
19 (G)The wind has wrapped her up in its wings,
And (H)they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Impending Judgment on Israel and Judah
5 “Hear this, O priests!
Take heed, O house of Israel!
Give ear, O house of the king!
For [f]yours is the judgment,
Because (I)you have been a snare to Mizpah
And a net spread on Tabor.
2 The revolters are (J)deeply involved in slaughter,
Though I rebuke them all.
3 (K)I know Ephraim,
And Israel is not hidden from Me;
For now, O Ephraim, (L)you commit harlotry;
Israel is defiled.
4 “They[g] do not direct their deeds
Toward turning to their God,
For (M)the spirit of harlotry is in their midst,
And they do not know the Lord.
5 The (N)pride of Israel testifies to his face;
Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.
6 “With their flocks and herds
(O)They shall go to seek the Lord,
But they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.
7 They have (P)dealt treacherously with the Lord,
For they have begotten [h]pagan children.
Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.

Hosea 4:15-5:7
New International Version
15 “Though you, Israel, commit adultery,
do not let Judah become guilty.
“Do not go to Gilgal;(A)
do not go up to Beth Aven.[a](B)
And do not swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’(C)
16 The Israelites are stubborn,(D)
like a stubborn heifer.(E)
How then can the Lord pasture them
like lambs(F) in a meadow?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols;
leave him alone!
18 Even when their drinks are gone,
they continue their prostitution;
their rulers dearly love shameful ways.
19 A whirlwind(G) will sweep them away,
and their sacrifices will bring them shame.(H)
Judgment Against Israel
5 “Hear this, you priests!
Pay attention, you Israelites!
Listen, royal house!
This judgment(I) is against you:
You have been a snare(J) at Mizpah,
a net(K) spread out on Tabor.
2 The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter.(L)
I will discipline all of them.(M)
3 I know all about Ephraim;
Israel is not hidden(N) from me.
Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;
Israel is corrupt.(O)
4 “Their deeds do not permit them
to return(P) to their God.
A spirit of prostitution(Q) is in their heart;
they do not acknowledge(R) the Lord.
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies(S) against them;
the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble(T) in their sin;
Judah also stumbles with them.(U)
6 When they go with their flocks and herds
to seek the Lord,(V)
they will not find him;
he has withdrawn(W) himself from them.
7 They are unfaithful(X) to the Lord;
they give birth to illegitimate(Y) children.
When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,(Z)
he will devour[b](AA) their fields.
