Hosea
Chapter 5
1 Hear you this, O priests.
And hearken, you . . . house of Israel.
And
give your ear, O house of the king . . .
for
judgment is toward you,
because
you have been a snare on Mizpah,
and
a net spread upon Tabor.
2
And the revolters are profound to make slaughter,
though
I have been a rebuker of them all.
3 I know Ephraim.
And Israel is not hid from me.
For
now, O Ephraim,
you
all commit whoredom
{involvement in the Phallic cult - both physical and spiritual
adultery},
and
Israel is defiled.
4
They will not frame their doings
to
turn unto their 'Elohiym/Godhead.
For
the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them,
and
they have not known Jehovah/God.
5 And the pride of Israel does testify to His Face.
Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity.
Judah also shall fall with them.
6
They shall go with their flocks
and
with their herds to seek Jehovah/God . . .
but
they shall not find Him.
He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah/God.
For they have begotten strange children.
Now shall a month devour them with their portions.
8
Blow you the cornet in Gibeah,
and
the trumpet in Ramah.
Cry aloud at Bethaven, after you all, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke.
Among
the tribes of Israel
have
I made known that which shall surely be.
10
The princes of Judah were like them
who
remove the bound.
Therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11
Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment,
because
he willingly walked after the commandment.
12
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth,
and
to the house of Judah as rottenness.
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.
14
For I will be unto Ephraim
as
a 'angry lion'
{shachal - is one of 8 words for lion - this is the loud, roaring, angry
lion looking for food - this is how Peter described Satan looking to
prey on believers this is the lion at its most dangerous -
I Peter 5:6-8},
and
as a 'young lion'
{k@phiyr - the young one is ambitious - trying to show he also can
kill the human ambitious 'young lion' is just as dangerous}
to
the house of Judah.
I, even I, will tear and go away.
I will take away.
And none shall rescue him.
15
I will go and return to My place,
till
they acknowledge their offence {rebound},
and
seek My face.
In their affliction they will seek me early {shachar}.
