Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 God's judgments against the priests, the people, and the princes of Israel, for their manifold sins, 15 until they repent.

5:1 ¶ Hear 8085 z8798 ye this, x2063 O priests; 3548 and hearken, 7181 z8685 ye house 1004 of Israel; 3478 and give ye ear, 238 z8685 O house 1004 of the king; 4428 for x3588 judgment 4941 [is] toward you, because x3588 ye have been x1961 a snare 6341 on Mizpah, 4709 and a net 7568 spread 6566 z8803 upon x5921 Tabor. 8396

5:2 And the revolters 7846 are profound 6009 z8689 to make slaughter, 7819 z8800 though I x589 [have been] a rebuker 4148 of them all. x3605

5:3 I x589 know 3045 z8804 Ephraim, 669 and Israel 3478 is not x3808 hid 3582 z8738 from x4480 me: for x3588 now, x6258 O Ephraim, 669 thou committest whoredom, 2181 z8689 [and] Israel 3478 is defiled. 2930 z8738

5:4 They will not x3808 frame 5414 z8799 their doings 4611 to turn 7725 z8800 unto x413 their God: 430 for x3588 the spirit 7307 of whoredoms 2183 [is] in the midst 7130 of them, and they have not x3808 known 3045 z8804 the LORD. 3068

5:5 And the pride 1347 of Israel 3478 doth testify 6030 z8804 to his face: 6440 therefore shall Israel 3478 and Ephraim 669 fall 3782 z8735 in their iniquity; 5771 Judah 3063 also x1571 shall fall 3782 z8804 with x5973 them.

5:6 They shall go y3212 z8799 x1980 with their flocks 6629 and with their herds 1241 to seek 1245 z8763 x853 the LORD; 3068 but they shall not x3808 find 4672 z8799 [him]; he hath withdrawn 2502 z8804 himself from x4480 them.

5:7 They have dealt treacherously 898 z8804 against the LORD: 3068 for x3588 they have begotten 3205 z8804 strange 2114 z8801 children: 1121 now x6258 shall a month 2320 devour 398 z8799 them with x854 their portions. 2506

5:8 Blow 8628 z8798 ye the cornet 7782 in Gibeah, 1390 [and] the trumpet 2689 in Ramah: 7414 cry aloud 7321 z8685 [at] Bethaven, 1007 after 310 thee, O Benjamin. 1144

5:9 Ephraim 669 shall be x1961 desolate 8047 in the day 3117 of rebuke: 8433 among the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 have I made known 3045 z8689 that which shall surely be. 539 z8737

5:10 The princes 8269 of Judah 3063 were x1961 like them that remove 5253 z8688 the bound: 1366 [therefore] I will pour out 8210 z8799 my wrath 5678 upon x5921 them like water. 4325

5:11 Ephraim 669 [is] oppressed 6231 z8803 [and] broken 7533 z8803 in judgment, 4941 because x3588 he willingly 2974 z8689 walked 1980 z8804 after 310 the commandment. 6673

5:12 Therefore [will] I x589 [be] unto Ephraim 669 as a moth, 6211 and to the house 1004 of Judah 3063 as rottenness. 7538

5:13 When Ephraim 669 saw 7200 z8799 x853 his sickness, 2483 and Judah 3063 [saw] x853 his wound, 4205 then went y3212 z8799 x1980 Ephraim 669 to x413 the Assyrian, 804 and sent 7971 z8799 to x413 king 4428 Jareb: 3377 z8677 y7378 z8799 yet could 3201 z8799 he x1931 not x3808 heal 7495 z8800 you, nor x3808 cure 1455 z8799 x4480 you of your wound. 4205

5:14 For x3588 I x595 [will be] unto Ephraim 669 as a lion, 7826 and as a young lion 3715 to the house 1004 of Judah: 3063 I, x589 [even] I, x589 will tear 2963 z8799 and go away; y3212 z8799 x1980 I will take away, 5375 z8799 and none x369 shall rescue 5337 z8688 [him].

5:15 ¶ I will go y3212 z8799 x1980 [and] return 7725 z8799 to x413 my place, 4725 till x5704 x834 they acknowledge their offence, 816 z8799 and seek 1245 z8765 my face: 6440 in their affliction 6862 they will seek me early. 7836 z8762
