8. Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind thee, O Benjamin.
9. Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
10. The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11. Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after the command.
12. Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13. When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.
14. For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
15. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
