1Yo, listen up, priests and fam of Israel; peep this, house of the king: judgment’s coming for you, 'cause you’ve been a total trap on Mizpah and a net on Tabor.

2The rebels are savage, ready to pop off, even though I’ve been calling them out.

3I see you, Ephraim, and Israel ain't hiding from me: for real, Ephraim, you’re acting sus, and Israel’s all messed up.

4They won’t change their ways to turn back to their God: the vibe of whoredoms is all around them, and they don’t even know the Lord.

5Israel’s pride is straight up in their face: so Israel and Ephraim are gonna fall hard in their mess; Judah’s gonna fall too, no cap.

6They’ll roll out with their flocks and herds to find the Lord, but they won’t catch Him; He’s ghosting them.

7They’ve been shady with the Lord: they’ve made some sus kids; now a month’s gonna eat them up with their stuff.

8Blast the horn in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah: shout out at Beth-aven, what’s good, Benjamin?

9Ephraim’s gonna be all empty on the day of rebuke: I’ve made it clear among the tribes of Israel what’s about to go down.

10The leaders of Judah are like those who mess with boundaries: so I’m gonna unleash my anger on them like a flood.

11Ephraim’s all crushed and broken in judgment, 'cause he chose to roll with the commandment.

12So I’ll be like a moth to Ephraim, and to Judah, I’ll be like decay.

13When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound, Ephraim hit up the Assyrian and sent a message to king Jareb: but he couldn’t heal you or fix your wound, fr.

14I’ll be like a lion to Ephraim and a young lion to Judah: I’m about to tear and dip; I’ll take away, and no one’s gonna save him.

15I’ll bounce back to my spot until they own up to their wrongs and seek my face: in their struggles, they’ll be looking for me early.

1Hear 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.

2And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

4They 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.

5And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

6They 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.

7They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

8Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth–aven, after thee, O Benjamin.

9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

12Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13When 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.

14For 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.

15I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
