5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and E´phra-im fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the Lord; for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gib´e-ah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth–a´ven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9 E´phra-im 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 them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 E´phra-im is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
