Hosea 5:8-15

8“Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah! Cry aloud at Beth Aven, ‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’

9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.

10“The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out My wrath on them like water.

11Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, Because he willingly walked by human precept.

12Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth, And to the house of Judah like rottenness.

13“When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah saw his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to King Jareb; Yet he cannot cure you, Nor heal you of your wound.

14For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them and go away; I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.

15I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
