¶ The .v. Chapter.
¶ Agaynst the Prestes and rulars of Israel.
A O ye prestes: heare this, take hede, O þe;
housholde of Israel: gene care, O thou
kyngly house, for it wer youre parte
to se Iudgement done, but you are become
a snare vnto Myzphah, and a spred net vnto
the mount of Thabor. They kyll sacrifyces
by heapes, And turne farre fr&obar; the Lord,
∧ I haue bene a rebuker of th&ebar; all. noteI know
Ephraim well ynough, ∧ Israel is not hyd
fro me: for Ephraim is become an harlot: ∧
Israel is defyled.
B They are not mynded to
turne vnto their God, for they haue an whorysh
hert, so that they cannot knowe þe; Lord.
noteBut the pryde of Israel will be rewarded
him in hys face, yee, both Israell ∧ Ephraim
shall fall for theyr wickednesse, and Iuda &wt;
th&ebar; also. noteThey shall come with their shepe
and bullockes note to seke the Lorde, but they
shall not fynde him, for he is gone from th&ebar;.
C As for the Lorde, they haue refused him, and
brought vp bastarde childr&ebar;: a moneth therfore
shall deuoure them with their porcy&obar;s.
Blowe with the shawmes at Gibea, and &wt;
the trompet in Ramah, crye out at Bethau&ebar;
vpon the y&obar;syde of BenIamin. In the tyme
of the plage shall Ephraim he layed waste,
therfore dyd I faythfully warne the trybes
of Israel. Yet are the princes of Iuda become
lyke them note that remoue the landemarckes,
therfore wyll I poure out my wrath vpon
th&ebar; lyke water. Ephraim is oppressed, ∧ can
haue no right of the lawe: for why? they folowe
the doctrynes of vngodly men. Therfore
will I be vnto Ephraim as a moth, and to
the house of Iuda as a caterpyller.
When Ephraim sawe hys sycknesse, and
Iuda hys dysease, note Ephraim wente vnto
Assur, and sent vnto kyng Iareb: yet coulde
not he helpe you, ner ease you of your payne.
I am vnto Ephraim as a lyon, and as a lyons
whelpe to þe; house of Iuda. Euen, I will
spoyle them, ∧ go my waye. I wyll take th&ebar;
wyth me, and no man shall rescue th&ebar;. I will
go, and returne to my place, tyll they knowledge
that they haue synned and seke me.
