Berean Standard Bible

““Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.”

Hosea 5:1

Save as image

Study note

Hosea addresses three groups at once: the priests, the whole house of Israel, and the royal household. Judgment is aimed at the leaders in particular, because they have become like a snare at Mizpah and a net spread on Mount Tabor, places likely linked to false worship or political scheming.
