NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hosea 5

The People's Apostasy Rebuked

1

Hearh8085 thish2088, O priestsh3548! Giveh7181 heedh7181, O househ1004 of Israelh3478! Listenh238, O househ1004 of the kingh4428! For the judgmenth4941 applies to you, For you have beenh1961 a  asnareh6341a at Mizpahh4709 And a neth7568 spreadh6566 out on Taborh8396.

2

The  arevoltersh7846 have  1 bgoneh6009 deeph6009 in depravityh7821a, But I will chastiseh4148 allh3605 of them.

3

I  aknowh3045 Ephraimh669, and Israelh3478 is not hiddenh3582 from Me; For nowh6258, O Ephraimh669, you have playedh2181 the harloth2181, Israelh3478 has defiledh2930 itself.

4

Their deedsh4611 will not allowh5414 them To returnh7725 to their Godh430. For a  aspirith7307 of harlotryh2183 is withinh7130 them, And they  bdo not knowh3045 the LORDh3068.

5

Moreover, the  aprideh1347b of Israelh3478 testifiesh6030a againsth6440 him, And Israelh3478 and Ephraimh669 stumbleh3782 in their iniquityh5771;  bJudahh3063 alsoh1571 has stumbledh3782 with them.

6

They will  agoh1980 with their flocksh6629 and herdsh1241 To seekh1245 the LORDh3068, but they will  bnot findh4672 Him; He has  cwithdrawnh2502a from them.

7

They have  adealth898 treacherouslyh898 against the LORDh3068, For they have borneh3205  1 billegitimateh2114a childrenh1121. Nowh6258 the  cnewh2320 moonh2320 will devourh398 them with their  2landh2506.

8

 aBlowh8628 the hornh7782 in  bGibeahh1390, The trumpeth2689 in Ramahh7414. Soundh7321 an alarmh7321 at Beth-avenh1007b: " cBehindh310 you, Benjaminh1144!"

9

Ephraimh669 will becomeh1961 a  adesolationh8047 in the  bdayh3117 of rebukeh8433a; Among the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478 I  cdeclareh3045 what is sureh539.

10

The princesh8269 of Judahh3063 have becomeh1961 like those who  amoveh5472 a boundaryh1366; On them I will  bpourh8210 out My wrathh5678  clike waterh4325.

11

Ephraimh669 is  aoppressedh6231, crushedh7533 in judgmenth4941,  bBecauseh3588 he was determinedh2974 to  1followh1980h310 man's commandh6673.

12

Therefore I am like a  amothh6211 to Ephraimh669 And like rottennessh7538 to the househ1004 of Judahh3063.

13

When Ephraimh669 sawh7200 his sicknessh2483, And Judahh3063 his  1woundh4205, Then Ephraimh669 wenth1980 to  aAssyriah804b And senth7971 to  2 bKingh4428 Jarebh3377. But he is  cunableh3808h3201 to healh7495 you, Or to cureh1455 you of your  1woundh4205.

14

For I will be  alike a lionh7826 to Ephraimh669 And like a youngh3715 lionh3715 to the househ1004 of Judahh3063.  bI, even I, will tearh2963 to pieces and goh1980 away, I will carryh5375 away, and thereh369 will be  cnoneh369 to deliverh5337.

15

I will goh1980 away and returnh7725 to My placeh4725 Untilh5704h834 they  1 aacknowledgeh816 their guilth816 and seekh1245 My faceh6440; In their afflictionh6862b they will earnestlyh7836  bseekh7836 Me.
