6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
