3 I know all about Israel.What they have done is not hidden from me.They all act like prostitutes.Israel has made itself unclean.
4 “And those bad things they have donekeep them from returning to their God.They are determined to be unfaithful to me.They do not know the Lord.
5 Israel’s pride testifies against them.The people of Israel will stumble because of their sin.The people of Judah will also stumble with them.
6 The people will come to worship the Lord.They will come with their sheep and cattle.But they will not be able to find him,because he has left them.
7 They have not been true to the Lord.Their children do not belong to him.So their false worshipwill destroy them and their land.
8 “Blow the horn in Gibeah.Blow the trumpet in Ramah.Give the warning at Beth Aven.Be first into battle, people of Benjamin.
9 A time of punishment is coming.Israel will be destroyed.I warn the tribes of Israelthat this will surely happen.
