Hosea, Chapter 5, verses 1-6

¹ "Hear this, you priests!
Pay attention, you Israelites!
Listen, O royal house!
This judgment is against you:
You have been a snare at Mizpah,
a net spread out on Tabor.

² The rebels are deep in slaughter.
I will discipline all of them.

³ I know all about Ephraim;
Israel is not hidden from me.
Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;
Israel is corrupt.

⁴ "Their deeds do not permit them
to return to their God.
A spirit of prostitution is in their heart;
they do not acknowledge the LORD .

⁵ Israel's arrogance testifies against them;
the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin;
Judah also stumbles with them.

⁶ When they go with their flocks and herds
to seek the LORD ,
they will not find him;
he has withdrawn himself from them.
