Context of Hosea 5:10
8Blow a shofar in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah! Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: “Behind you, Benjamin!” 9Ephraim will become desolate in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I made known what is certain. The princes of Judah were like those who move a boundary mark. I pour out My fury on them like water. 11Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed by judgment, for he willingly followed a worthless thing. 12So, I will be like a moth to Ephraim and like decay to the house of Judah.
