028:005:001
Hear ye this,
O priests;
and hearken,
ye house of Israel;
and give ye ear,
O house of the king;
for judgment is toward you,
because ye have been a snare on Mizpah,
and a net spread upon Tabor.
028:005:002
And the revolters are profound to make slaughter,
though I have been a rebuker of them all.
028:005:003
I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hid from me:
for now,
O Ephraim,
thou committest whoredom,
and Israel is defiled.
028:005:004
They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God:
for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them,
and they have not known the LORD.
028:005:005
And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face:
therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity:
Judah also shall fall with them.
028:005:006
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD;
but they shall not find him;
he hath withdrawn himself from them.
028:005:007
They have dealt treacherously against the LORD:
for they have begotten strange children:
now shall a month devour them with their portions.
028:005:008
Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah,
and the trumpet in Ramah:
cry aloud at Bethaven,
after thee,
O Benjamin.
028:005:009
Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke:
among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
028:005:010
The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:
therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
028:005:011
Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment,
because he willingly walked after the commandment.
028:005:012
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth,
and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
028:005:013
When Ephraim saw his sickness,
and Judah saw his wound,
then went Ephraim to the Assyrian,
and sent to king Jareb:
yet could he not heal you,
nor cure you of your wound.
028:005:014
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.
028:005:015
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.
