CHAPTER 5
Hosea 5:1
1 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.
Hosea 5:2
2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a
rebuker of them all.
Hosea 5:3
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou
committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
Hosea 5:4
4 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.
Hosea 5:5
5 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.
Hosea 5:6
6 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they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Hosea 5:7
7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten
strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Hosea 5:8
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at
Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Hosea 5:9
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel
have I made known that which shall surely be.
Hosea 5:10
10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I
will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Hosea 5:11
11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked
after the commandment.
Hosea 5:12
12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as
rottenness.
Hosea 5:13
13 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.
Hosea 5:14
14 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.
Hosea 5:15
15 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.
CHAPTER 6
Hosea 6:1
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal
us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hosea 6:2
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea 6:3
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is
prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the
latter and former rain unto the earth.
Hosea 6:4
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
Hosea 6:5
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the
words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
Hosea 6:6
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than
burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:7
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt
treacherously against me.
Hosea 6:8
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
Hosea 6:9
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder
in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Hosea 6:10
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the
whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Hosea 6:11
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the
captivity of my people.
CHAPTER 7
Hosea 7:1
1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was
discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and
the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
Hosea 7:2
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their
wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my
face.
Hosea 7:3
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their
lies.
Hosea 7:4
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from
raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Hosea 7:5
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of
wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Hosea 7:6
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in
wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a
flaming fire.
Hosea 7:7
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their
kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
Hosea 7:8
8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not
turned.
Hosea 7:9
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray
hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Hosea 7:10
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to
the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
Hosea 7:11
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they
go to Assyria.
Hosea 7:12
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them
down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation
hath heard.
Hosea 7:13
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because
they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they
have spoken lies against me.
Hosea 7:14
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon
their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel
against me.
Hosea 7:15
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine
mischief against me.
Hosea 7:16
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow:
their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this
shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
