3 I know all about the people of Israel;what they have done is not hidden from me.Now that Israel acts like a prostitute,it has made itself unclean.
4 “They will not give up their deedsand return 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,and the people of Judah will stumble with them.
6 They will come to worship the Lord,bringing their flocks and herds,but they will not be able to find him,because he has left them.
7 They have not been true to the Lord;they are children who do not belong to him.So their false worshipwill destroy them and their land.
8 “Blow the horn in Gibeahand the trumpet in Ramah.Give the warning at Beth Aven,and be first into battle, people of Benjamin.
9 Israel will be ruinedon the day of punishment.To the tribes of IsraelI tell the truth.
