Hosea 5

1Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment <add>is</add> toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.2And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I <add>have been</add> a rebuker of them all.3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, <add>and</add> Israel is defiled.4They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms <add>is</add> in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.5And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.6They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find <add>him;</add> he hath withdrawn himself from them.7They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.8Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, <add>and</add> the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud <add>at</add> Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.10The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: <add>therefore</add> I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.11Ephraim <add>is</add> oppressed <add>and</add> broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.12Therefore <add>will</add> I <add>be</add> unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.13When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah <add>saw</add> 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.14For I will <add>be</add> unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, <add>even</add> I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue <add>him</add>.

15I will go <add>and</add> return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
