4 Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the Lord.
5 Moreover, the pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also has stumbled with them.
6 They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, For they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their land.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: "Behind you, Benjamin!"
9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
10 The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water.
