They don't know the Lord
Hear this, you priests. Pay attention, people of Israel. Listen, royal house — because this judgement is against you. You have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor. The rebels are deep in slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, you have been sexually unfaithful, and Israel is defiled. Their deeds won't let them turn back to their God, because a spirit of prostitution is in them, and they don't know the Lord. The pride of Israel testifies against him to his face. Israel and Ephraim stumble in their guilt, and Judah stumbles with them. They will go with their flocks and their herds to seek the Lord, and they won't find him. He has withdrawn from them. They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, because they have fathered strange children. Now a month will devour them with their portions. Blow the horn in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah. Cry aloud at Bethaven, after you, Benjamin. Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is certain. The princes of Judah are like men who shift boundary stones. I will pour out my anger on them like water. Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgement, because he willingly followed the commandment. So I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the people of Judah. When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound, Ephraim went to the Assyrian and sent to king Jareb. Yet he could not heal you or cure you of your wound. Because I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the people of Judah. I myself will tear and go away. I will carry off, and nobody will rescue. I will go back to my place until they admit their guilt and seek my face. In their distress they will look for me in earnest.
Listen to this, you priests. Pay attention, house of Israel. And turn your ear, house of the king. Because the judgment is for you — because you've been a trap at Mizpah and a net spread on Tabor. And the rebels have gone deep into slaughter, though I've set them all straight. I know Ephraim, and Israel isn't hidden from me. Because now, Ephraim, you've gone whoring, and Israel is made filthy. Their doings won't let them turn back to their God. Because a spirit of whoring is among them, and they don't know the Lord. And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. So Israel and Ephraim will fall in their wrongdoing, and Judah will fall with them. They'll go with their flocks and their herds to look for the Lord, and they won't find him. He's pulled back from them. They've dealt treacherously with the Lord, because they've fathered strange children. Now a new moon will eat them up with their fields. Blow the horn in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth Aven — behind you, Benjamin. Ephraim will be a wreck on the day of telling off. Among the tribes of Israel I've made known what's sure. The rulers of Judah are like the ones who shift a boundary marker. So I'll pour out my fury on them like water. Ephraim is crushed and broken in judgment, because he wanted to walk after an order. So I'll be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah. When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he can't heal you or cure your wound. Because I'll be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I'll tear and go off. I'll carry off, and nobody will rescue. I'll go and go back to my place till they own up to their guilt and look for my face. In their hard time they'll look for me early.
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. And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. 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. 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. 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. They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 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. 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. 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.
