Judgment against Israel

“Hear this, priests,
    pay attention, house of Israel,
        listen, royal family!
For judgment is coming your way,[a]
    because you have been a trap to Mizpah,
        a snare spread out on Mount[b] Tabor.
The rebels are deep into their slaughter;
    I am punishing them all.
I know Ephraim,
    and Israel cannot hide from me,
since you, Ephraim, have been acting like a prostitute,
    defiling Israel.
