King James Version
“
Hear this, O priests !
Take
heed
, O
house of Israel !
Give ear, O royal
house !
For this
judgment is against
you because you
have been a snare at
Mizpah, a net spread out
on
Tabor.
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.
The rebels
are deep
in
slaughter ;
but
I will
chastise
them all.
And
the revolters
are profound
to
make
slaughter ,
though
I have
been
a
rebuker
of
them all.
I know all
about
Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden
from Me .
For now, O Ephraim, you
have
turned
to
prostitution;
Israel is defiled.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid
from me :
for now, O Ephraim, thou
committest
whoredom,
and
Israel is defiled.
Their
deeds
do
not permit
them
to
return
to their God ,
for a
spirit of prostitution
is within
them, and they do
not know
the LORD.
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.
Israel’s
arrogance
testifies
against
them;
Israel and Ephraim stumble
in their iniquity ;
even
Judah stumbles
with them.
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.
They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD ,
but they do
not find Him; He has
withdrawn Himself from them.
They shall
go with their flocks and with
their
herds to seek the LORD ;
but they shall
not find him; he hath
withdrawn himself from them.
They have been
unfaithful
to
the LORD ;
for they have borne
illegitimate
children .
Now the
New
Moon
will
devour them along
with their land
.
They have dealt
treacherously
against
the LORD :
for they have begotten
strange
children :
now shall
a
month
devour them with their portions
.
Blow the ram’s
horn
in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah ;
raise
the
battle
cry
in
Beth-aven
: Lead
on
, O Benjamin !
Blow ye
the cornet
in Gibeah, and
the trumpet in Ramah: cry
aloud
at
Bethaven
, after
thee,
O Benjamin .
Ephraim will
be laid
waste
on
the day of rebuke .
Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim
what
is
certain
.
Ephraim shall
be desolate
in
the day of rebuke :
among the tribes of Israel have
I made
known
that
which
shall
surely
be
.
The princes of Judah are
like those
who
move
boundary
stones;
I will pour out My fury
upon them like water.
The princes of Judah were
like them
that
remove
the
bound:
therefore
I will pour out my wrath
upon them like water.
Ephraim is oppressed ,
crushed
in judgment, for
he is
determined
to
follow
worthless
idols
.
Ephraim is oppressed and
broken
in judgment, because
he willingly
walked
after
the
commandment
.
So
I am
like
a moth to
Ephraim
, and like
decay
to the house of Judah.
Therefore
will
I be
unto
Ephraim
as
a moth, and to the house of Judah as
rottenness
.
When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned
to Assyria
and sent to the
great
king .
But
he cannot
cure you or
heal
your wound.
When Ephraim saw his sickness ,
and Judah saw
his wound, then went
Ephraim to the
Assyrian,
and sent to king Jareb:
yet
could
he not
heal
you,
nor
cure you of
your wound.
For I am
like
a lion to
Ephraim
and like
a young lion to the house of Judah .
I, even I, will tear them
to
pieces
and then
go away .
I will carry
them
off
where
no
one
can
rescue them
.
For I will
be
unto
Ephraim
as
a lion ,
and as
a young lion to the house of Judah :
I, even I, will tear and go away ;
I will take
away,
and
none
shall
rescue him
.
Then
I will return to My place until
they admit
their guilt
and seek My face ;
in their affliction they will earnestly
seek Me. ”
I will go
and
return to my place ,
till
they acknowledge
their offence,
and seek my face :
in their affliction they will seek me early
.
