Hosea 5:1-5
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Hear ye this, O priests;
and hearken, ye house of Israel;
and give ye ear, O house of the king;
for judgment is toward you,
because ye have been a snare on Mizpah,
and a net spread upon Tabor.
2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter,
though I have been a rebuker of them all.
3 I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hid from me:
for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom,
and Israel is defiled.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God:
for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them,
and they have not known the Lord.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face:
therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity;
Judah also shall fall with them.
Hosea 5:1-5
21st Century King James Version
5 “Hear ye this, O priests! And hearken, ye house of Israel! And give ye ear, O house of the king! For judgment is against you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2 And the revolters are deep in slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
4 “They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face; therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
