## Text

[1] “Hear this, O priests!
Take heed, O house of Israel!
Give ear, O royal house!
For this judgment is against you
because you have been a snare at Mizpah,
a net spread out on Tabor. [2] The rebels are deep in slaughter;
but I will chastise them all. [3] I know all about Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from Me.
For now, O Ephraim,
you have turned to prostitution;
Israel is defiled. [4] Their deeds do not permit them
to return to their God,
for a spirit of prostitution is within them,
and they do not know the LORD. [5] Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;
Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
even Judah stumbles with them. [6] They go with their flocks and herds
to seek the LORD,
but they do not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them. [7] They have been unfaithful to the LORD;
for they have borne illegitimate children.
Now the New Moon will devour them
along with their land. [8] Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah,
the trumpet in Ramah;
raise the battle cry in Beth-aven:
Lead on, O Benjamin! [9] Ephraim will be laid waste
on the day of rebuke.
Among the tribes of Israel
I proclaim what is certain. [10] The princes of Judah
are like those who move boundary stones;
I will pour out My fury
upon them like water. [11] Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,
for he is determined to follow worthless idols. [12] So I am like a moth to Ephraim,
and like decay to the house of Judah. [13] When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria
and sent to the great king.
But he cannot cure you
or heal your wound. [14] For I am like a lion to Ephraim
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I, even I, will tear them to pieces
and then go away.
I will carry them off
where no one can rescue them. [15] Then I will return to My place
until they admit their guilt and seek My face;
in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
