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. 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, thou committest whoredom, *and* Israel is defiled. 4 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.** 5 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them. 6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find *him;* he hath withdrawn himself from them. 7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. 8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, *and* the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud *at* Beth-aven, after thee, 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 that 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 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*. 15 ΒΆ 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.* [Hosea 4](/study/hosea/4) [Hosea 6](/study/hosea/6) ## Commentary To verse 1 **O priests:** [Hosea 4:1](/kjv/hosea/4/1), [Hosea 4:6](/kjv/hosea/4/6), [Hosea 4:7](/kjv/hosea/4/7), [Hosea 6:9](/kjv/hosea/6/9), [Malachi 1:6](/kjv/malachi/1/6), [Malachi 2:1](/kjv/malachi/2/1) **O house:** [Hosea 7:3-5](/kjv/hosea/7/3-5), [1 Kings 14:7-16](/kjv/1-kings/14/7-16), [1 Kings 21:18-22](/kjv/1-kings/21/18-22), [2 Chronicles 21:12-15](/kjv/2-chronicles/21/12-15), [Jeremiah 13:18](/kjv/jeremiah/13/18), [Jeremiah 22:1-9](/kjv/jeremiah/22/1-9), [Amos 7:9](/kjv/amos/7/9), [Micah 3:1](/kjv/micah/3/1), [Micah 3:9](/kjv/micah/3/9) **for:** [Hosea 9:11-17](/kjv/hosea/9/11-17), [Hosea 10:15](/kjv/hosea/10/15), [Hosea 13:8](/kjv/hosea/13/8) **ye have:** [Hosea 9:8](/kjv/hosea/9/8), [Micah 7:2](/kjv/micah/7/2), [Habakkuk 1:15-17](/kjv/habakkuk/1/15-17) **Tabor:** [Judges 4:6](/kjv/judges/4/6), [Jeremiah 46:18](/kjv/jeremiah/46/18) **Reciprocal:** [Genesis 31:49](/kjv/genesis/31/49) - Mizpah [Leviticus 21:1](/kjv/leviticus/21/1) - Speak [Proverbs 29:5](/kjv/proverbs/29/5) - spreadeth [Jeremiah 7:2](/kjv/jeremiah/7/2) - Hear [Jeremiah 17:20](/kjv/jeremiah/17/20) - *General* [Ezekiel 44:12](/kjv/ezekiel/44/12) - they ministered [Hosea 6:8](/kjv/hosea/6/8) - polluted with blood [Hosea 7:1](/kjv/hosea/7/1) - they commit [Hosea 9:15](/kjv/hosea/9/15) - all [Joel 1:2](/kjv/joel/1/2) - Hear [Amos 3:1](/kjv/amos/3/1) - Hear [Mark 15:11](/kjv/mark/15/11) - *General* [Luke 10:31](/kjv/luke/10/31) - priest ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/treasury-of-scripture-knowledge/hosea/5#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/treasury-of-scripture-knowledge/hosea/5#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/treasury-of-scripture-knowledge/hosea/5","name":"Hosea 5 - Study King James Bible with treasury of scripture knowledge","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/treasury-of-scripture-knowledge/hosea/5#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Hosea 5 with treasury of scripture knowledge commentary. 1 Hear ye this, O priests;
