1. Hear this, O priests!Pay attention, O house of Israel!Give ear, O house of the king!For the judgment is for you;for you have been a snare at Mizpahand a net spread upon Tabor.
2. And the revolters have gone deep into slaughter,but I will discipline all of them.
3. I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from me;for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;Israel is defiled.
4. Their deeds do not permit themto return to their God.For the spirit of whoredom is within them,and they know not the Lord.
5. The pride of Israel testifies to his face;Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in his guilt; Judah also shall stumble with them.
6. With their flocks and herds they shall goto seek the Lord, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.
7. They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord;for they have borne alien children.Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
8. Blow the horn in Gibeah,the trumpet in Ramah.Sound the alarm at Beth-aven;we follow you, O Benjamin!
