Hosea 5:9-14

9Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment; I announce what is certain among the tribes of Israel.

10The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers; I will pour out my fury on them like water.

11Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow what is worthless.

12So I am like rot to Ephraim and like decay to the house of Judah.

13When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria and sent a delegation to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.

14For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart. I will carry them off, and no one can rescue them.
