8 “Blow ithe ram’s horn in Gibeah,

The trumpet in Ramah!

jCry aloud at kBeth Aven,

‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’

9 Ephraim 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 lremove a landmark;

I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

11 Ephraim is moppressed and broken in judgment,

Because he willingly walked by nhuman precept.

12 Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth,

And to the house of Judah olike rottenness.

13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,

And Judah saw his pwound,

Then Ephraim went qto Assyria

And sent to King Jareb;

Yet he cannot cure you,

Nor heal you of your wound.

14 For rI will be like a lion to Ephraim,

And like a young lion to the house of Judah.

sI, even I, will tear them and go away;

I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.

15 I will return again to My place

Till they 4acknowledge their offense.

Then they will seek My face;

In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
