Hosea 5:3

Context

5:3 I know Ephraim all too well; 1 

the evil of 2  Israel is not hidden from me.

For you have engaged in prostitution, O Ephraim;

Israel has defiled itself. 3 

1 tn The phrase “all too well” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity and stylistic reasons.

2 tn The phrase “the evil of” does not appear in the Hebrew text here, but is implied by the metonymical (cause-effect) use of the term “Israel.” It is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity. Cf. NCV “what they have done is not hidden from me.”

3 tn Or “Israel has become corrupt”; NCV “has made itself unclean”; TEV “are unfit to worship me.”
