In 15 verses, priests and the house of Israel are charged with ensnaring the nation at Mizpah and Tabor, princes of Judah are accused of removing a landmark, and the LORD announces that he will withdraw until his people seek him.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Hear this, O priests, and listen, O house of Israel Give ear, O house of the king
The judgment has been against you all You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread on Tabor Slaughter is deep in making rebels
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me You have been unfaithful, O Ephraim Israel is defiled, their deeds don’t permit them to return
Their pride testifies to their face They don’t return to the LORD their God They don’t seek him in all this
I will go and return to my place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face In their affliction they will seek me earnestly
The LORD will roar like a lion I will tear and go away I will carry away, and there will be no one to rescue
Judgment is coming, know it well Return to the LORD your God In the day of visitation, repent
