Context of Hosea 5:10
8Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [at] Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin! 9Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure. The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 11Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man]. 12And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
