Hear this, O priests ,
and attend
, O
house of Israel ,

for
you, For,

snare
ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out
on
Tabor.

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 saw
his wound, then
went
Ephraim to
the
Assyrian
, and sent

king Jareb:

you, nor cure
you of
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 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
.
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!'
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.
