Hosea Chapter 5 Verse 6They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find [him]; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

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

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

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

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.

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
