Hosea 4:1

4:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

ye children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath a controversy
<07379>

with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

because [there is] no truth
<0571>_,

nor mercy
<02617>_,

nor knowledge
<01847>

of God
<0430>

in the land
<0776>_.

Hosea 5:1-15

5:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye this, O priests
<03548>_;

and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,

ye house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and give ye ear
<0238> (8685)_,

O house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>_;

for judgment
<04941>

[is] toward you, because ye have been a snare
<06341>

on Mizpah
<04709>_,

and a net
<07568>

spread
<06566> (8803)

upon Tabor
<08396>_.

5:2

And the revolters
<07846>

are profound
<06009> (8689)

to make slaughter
<07819> (8800)_,

though I [have been] a rebuker
<04148>

of them all. {though: or, and} {a rebuker: Heb. a correction}

5:3

I know
<03045> (8804)

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and Israel
<03478>

is not hid
<03582> (8738)

from me: for now, O Ephraim
<0669>_,

thou committest whoredom
<02181> (8689)_,

[and] Israel
<03478>

is defiled
<02930> (8738)_.

5:4

They will not frame
<05414> (8799)

their doings
<04611>

to turn
<07725> (8800)

unto their God
<0430>_:

for the spirit
<07307>

of whoredoms
<02183>

[is] in the midst
<07130>

of them, and they have not known
<03045> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{They will...: or, Their doings will not suffer them} {frame: Heb. give}

5:5

And the pride
<01347>

of Israel
<03478>

doth testify
<06030> (8804)

to his face
<06440>_:

therefore shall Israel
<03478>

and Ephraim
<0669>

fall
<03782> (8735)

in their iniquity
<05771>_;

Judah
<03063>

also shall fall
<03782> (8804)

with them.

5:6

They shall go
<03212> (8799)

with their flocks
<06629>

and with their herds
<01241>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>_;

but they shall not find
<04672> (8799)

[him]; he hath withdrawn
<02502> (8804)

himself from them.

5:7

They have dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_:

for they have begotten
<03205> (8804)

strange
<02114> (8801)

children
<01121>_:

now shall a month
<02320>

devour
<0398> (8799)

them with their portions
<02506>_.

5:8

Blow
<08628> (8798)

ye the cornet
<07782>

in Gibeah
<01390>_,

[and] the trumpet
<02689>

in Ramah
<07414>_:

cry aloud
<07321> (8685)

[at] Bethaven
<01007>_,

after
<0310>

thee, O Benjamin
<01144>_.

5:9

Ephraim
<0669>

shall be desolate
<08047>

in the day
<03117>

of rebuke
<08433>_:

among the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

have I made known
<03045> (8689)

that which shall surely be
<0539> (8737)_.

5:10

The princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>

were like them that remove
<05253> (8688)

the bound
<01366>_:

[therefore] I will pour out
<08210> (8799)

my wrath
<05678>

upon them like water
<04325>_.

5:11

Ephraim
<0669>

[is] oppressed
<06231> (8803)

[and] broken
<07533> (8803)

in judgment
<04941>_,

because he willingly
<02974> (8689)

walked
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

the commandment
<06673>_.

5:12

Therefore [will] I [be] unto Ephraim
<0669>

as a moth
<06211>_,

and to the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

as rottenness
<07538>_.

{rottenness: or, a worm}

5:13

When Ephraim
<0669>

saw
<07200> (8799)

his sickness
<02483>_,

and Judah
<03063>

[saw] his wound
<04205>_,

then went
<03212> (8799)

Ephraim
<0669>

to the Assyrian
<0804>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

to king
<04428>

Jareb
<03377> (8677) <07378> (8799)_:

yet could
<03201> (8799)

he not heal
<07495> (8800)

you, nor cure
<01455> (8799)

you of your wound
<04205>_.

{king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead}

5:14

For I [will be] unto Ephraim
<0669>

as a lion
<07826>_,

and as a young lion
<03715>

to the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_:

I, [even] I, will tear
<02963> (8799)

and go away
<03212> (8799)_;

I will take away
<05375> (8799)_,

and none shall rescue
<05337> (8688)

[him].

5:15

I will go
<03212> (8799)

[and] return
<07725> (8799)

to my place
<04725>_,

till they acknowledge their offence
<0816> (8799)_,

and seek
<01245> (8765)

my face
<06440>_:

in their affliction
<06862>

they will seek me early
<07836> (8762)_.

{acknowledge...: Heb. be guilty}
