5:4 Their wicked deeds do not allow them to return to their God;
because a spirit of idolatry
and they do not acknowledge the Lord.
5:14 I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear them to pieces,
then I will carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them!
5:1 Hear this, you priests!
Pay attention, you Israelites!
Listen closely,
For judgment is about to overtake you!
For you were like a trap
like a net
1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my physical body – for the sake of his body, the church – what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.
