Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and house of the king—give ear! Judgment is against you, for you have become a snare at Mizpah and a net spread over Tabor.
2. Revolters have deepened the slaughter, but I bring chastening to all of them.
3. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have prostituted yourself. Israel is defiled.
4. Their deeds do not enable them to return to their gods, for a spirit of whoredom is in their midst, and they do not know Yahweh.
5. Israel's pride testifies against him, so Israel and Ephraim stumble through their guilt; Judah stumbles with them too.
6. With their flocks and herds they go to seek Yahweh, but they do not find him; he has withdrawn from them.
7. They have betrayed Yahweh, for they have fathered foreign children; now a new moon will devour them with their fields.
8. Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah! Raise the alarm at Beth-aven, behind you, Benjamin!
9. Ephraim will become desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel I have faithfully made it known.
10. The princes of Judah have become like boundary-shifters; I will pour my wrath upon them like water.
11. Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was content to walk after the commandment.
12. I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
13. Ephraim became aware of his sickness and Judah of his wound, so Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to King Jareb; but he cannot heal you, nor does he cure your wound.
14. For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah—I myself will tear them and go away; I will carry them off, and no one will deliver.
15. I will go away and return to my place until they bear their guilt and seek my face; in their distress they will seek me diligently.
