Hosea 5:13

neither will he cure you of your wound.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Hosea 5:13 in context

Hosea 5:10–15

The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark.

I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

Ephraim is oppressed,

he is crushed in judgment,

because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.

Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,

and to the house of Judah like rottenness.

Selected verse

“When Ephraim saw his sickness,

and Judah his wound,

then Ephraim went to Assyria,

and sent to King Jareb:

but he is not able to heal you,

neither will he cure you of your wound.

For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,

and like a young lion to the house of Judah.

I myself will tear in pieces and go away.

I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.

I will go and return to my place,

until they acknowledge their offense,

and seek my face.

In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
