Hosea 5

¹Hear ye this, O priests;

²And the revolters are profound to make slaughter,

³I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me:

⁴They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God:

⁵And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face:

⁶They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord;

⁷They have dealt treacherously against the Lord:

⁸Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah,

⁹Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke:

¹⁰The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:

¹¹Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment,

¹²Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth,

¹³When Ephraim saw his sickness,

¹⁴For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion,

¹⁵I will go and return to my place,
