Berean Standard Bible
`
Hear this, O priests ,
and
attend
, O house of Israel ,
And,
O
house
of
the
king,
give ear, For the
judgment `
is '
for
you ,
For,
a
snare
ye
have been on
Mizpah, And
a net spread out on Tabor.
“
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.
And
to
slaughter
sinners
have
gone
deep ,
And
I `am'
a
fetter
to
them all.
The
rebels
are
deep in
slaughter;
but
I will
chastise
them all.
I have
known
Ephraim, And Israel hath
not been
hid
from me ,
For now thou
hast
gone
a-whoring
, Ephraim, Defiled
is
Israel.
I know
all
about
Ephraim, and Israel is
not hidden
from Me .
For now, O
Ephraim, you
have
turned
to
prostitution;
Israel is
defiled
.
They
give
not
up
their habitual
doings,
To turn
back
unto
their God, For a spirit of whoredoms
`
is '
in
their
midst
, And Jehovah
they have
not known
.
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
.
And
humbled
hath
been
the
excellency
of
Israel
to
his
face,
And
Israel and Ephraim stumble by
their iniquity ,
Stumbled
also
hath
Judah with them.
Israel’s
arrogance
testifies
against
them;
Israel and Ephraim stumble in
their iniquity ;
even
Judah stumbles
with them.
With their flock
and with
their
herd,
They
go
to seek Jehovah
, and
do not find ,
He hath
withdrawn from them.
They
go
with their flocks
and herds
to seek the
LORD
, but
they
do not find Him;
He has
withdrawn Himself
from them.
Against
Jehovah
they dealt
treacherously,
For strange
sons
they have begotten,
Now consume
them doth
a
month
`
with '
their portions
.
They have
been
unfaithful
to
the
LORD;
for they have borne
illegitimate
children.
Now the
New
Moon
will
devour
them along
with their land
.
Blow ye
a
cornet
in Gibeah, a
trumpet in Ramah ,
Shout,
O
Beth-Aven ,
after
thee
, O Benjamin .
Blow the
ram’s
horn
in Gibeah, the
trumpet in Ramah ;
raise
the
battle
cry
in
Beth-aven :
Lead
on
, O Benjamin !
Ephraim is
for
a
desolation
in
a
day of reproof,
Among the tribes of Israel I have
made
known
a
sure
thing
.
Ephraim will
be
laid
waste
on
the
day of rebuke.
Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim
what
is
certain
.
Princes of Judah have
been
as
those removing
a
border,
On
them
I do
pour out as
water
My wrath
.
The
princes of Judah are
like
those who
move
boundary
stones;
I will
pour out My fury
upon
them
like
water
.
Oppressed
is
Ephraim, broken
in judgment, When
he
pleased
he went
after
the
command
.
Ephraim is
oppressed
, crushed
in judgment, for
he is
determined
to
follow
worthless
idols
.
And
I `
am '
as
a moth to Ephraim, And as
a
rotten
thing
to the house of Judah.
So
I am like
a moth to Ephraim, and like
decay
to the house of Judah.
And
see
doth
Ephraim his sickness ,
and Judah his wound, And
Ephraim goeth
unto
Asshur,
And
sendeth
unto
a
warlike
king,
And
he
is
not
able
to give
healing
to you,
Nor
doth
he remove
from
you a
scar
.
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
.
For I `
am '
as
a lion to Ephraim ,
And as
a young lion to the house of Judah ,
I --
I tear and go ,
I
bear
away ,
and
there
is
no deliverer
.
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
.
I
go
--
I turn
back
unto
My place ,
Till
that
they are
desolate,
and have
sought
My face .
In their distress
they do
seek Me speedily!'
Then
I will
return
to
My place until
they admit
their
guilt
and seek
My face ;
in their affliction
they will
earnestly
seek Me .”
