6 They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.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.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, Because he was determined to follow man's command.
12 Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim And like rottenness to the house of Judah.
