8  sBlow ye tthe cornet in uGibeah,

And vthe trumpet in wRamah:

xCry aloud at yBeth-aven,

zAfter thee, O Benjamin.

9  Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke:

Among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10  The princes of Judah were like athem that remove the bound:

Therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11  Ephraim is boppressed and bbroken in judgment,

Because he willingly walked after cthe commandment.

12  Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as dea moth,

And to the house of Judah as ||drottenness.

13  When Ephraim saw his sickness,

And Judah saw his fwound,

Then went Ephraim gto the Assyrian,

And hsent ||to king Jareb:

Yet could he not heal you,

Nor cure you of your fwound.

14  For kI will be unto Ephraim as la lion,

And as a young lion to the house of Judah:

mI, even I, will tear and go away;

I will take away, and mnone shall rescue him.

15  I will go and return to my place,

†Till nthey acknowledge their offence, and seek my face:

oIn their affliction they will pseek me early.
