KJV ¹ Hear 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.

VULC ¹ [Audite hoc, sacerdotes,
et attendite, domus Israël,

VULC ³ Ego scio Ephraim,
et Israël non est absconditus a me :
quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim ;
contaminatus est Israël.

KJV ⁴ They 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.

VULC ⁴ Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum,
quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum,
et Dominum non cognoverunt.

VULC ⁵ Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus,
et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua :
ruet etiam Judas cum eis.

KJV ⁶ They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

VULC ⁶ In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum,
et non invenient :
ablatus est ab eis.

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

VULC ⁷ In Dominum prævaricati sunt,
quia filios alienos genuerunt :
nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.

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

VULC ⁸ Clangite buccina in Gabaa,
tuba in Rama ;
ululate in Bethaven,
post tergum tuum, Benjamin.

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

VULC ⁹ Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis ;
in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.

VULC ¹¹ Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio,
quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.

et quasi putredo domui Juda.

KJV ¹³ 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.

VULC ¹³ Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum,
et Juda vinculum suum ;
et abiit Ephraim ad Assur,
et misit ad regem ultorem :
et ipse non poterit sanare vos,
nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.

KJV ¹⁴ For 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.

VULC ¹⁴ Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim,
et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda.
Ego, ego capiam, et vadam ;
tollam, et non est qui eruat.

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

VULC ¹⁵ Vadens revertar ad locum meum,
donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.]
