HearH8085 ye this, O priestsH3548; and hearkenH7181, ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and give ye earH238, O houseH1004 of the kingH4428; for judgmentH4941 is toward you, because ye have been a snareH6341 on MizpahH4709, and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon TaborH8396.
And the revoltersH7846 are profoundH6009 to make slaughterH7819, though I have been a rebukerH4148 of them all. {though: or, and} {a rebuker: Heb. a correction}

They will not frameH5414 their doingsH4611 to turnH7725 unto their GodH430: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 is in the midstH7130 of them, and they have not knownH3045 the LORDH3068. {They will…: or, Their doings will not suffer them} {frame: Heb. give}

They shall goH3212 with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068; but they shall not findH4672 him; he hath withdrawnH2502 himself from them.
They have dealt treacherouslyH898 against the LORDH3068: for they have begottenH3205 strangeH2114 childrenH1121: now shall a monthH2320 devourH398 them with their portionsH2506.
BlowH8628 ye the cornetH7782 in GibeahH1390, and the trumpetH2689 in RamahH7414: cry aloudH7321 at BethavenH1007, afterH310 thee, O BenjaminH1144.
EphraimH669 shall be desolateH8047 in the dayH3117 of rebukeH8433: among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 have I made knownH3045 that which shall surely beH539.
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 were like them that removeH5253 the boundH1366: therefore I will pour outH8210 my wrathH5678 upon them like waterH4325.

Therefore will I be unto EphraimH669 as a mothH6211, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 as rottennessH7538. {rottenness: or, a worm}

For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.
