Hosea 5:9-14

9Ephraim will be ruined in the day of judgment! What I am declaring to the tribes of Israel will certainly take place!

10The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers. I will pour out my rage on them like a torrential flood!

11Ephraim will be oppressed, crushed under judgment, because he was determined to pursue worthless idols.

12I will be like a moth to Ephraim, like wood rot to the house of Judah.

13When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria, and begged its great king for help. But he will not be able to heal you! He cannot cure your wound!

14I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear them to pieces, then I will carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them!
