Hosea 5

¹“Listen to this, you priests!

²The rebels are deep in slaughter,

³I know Ephraim,

⁴Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God,

⁵The pride of Israel testifies to his face.

⁶They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD,

⁷They are unfaithful to the LORD;

⁸“Blow the cornet in Gibeah,

⁹Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke.

¹⁰The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark.

¹¹Ephraim is oppressed,

¹²Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,

¹³“When Ephraim saw his sickness,

¹⁴For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,

¹⁵I will go and return to my place,
