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.
10 The leaders of Judah are like thosewho steal other people’s land.I will pour my punishment over themlike a flood of water.
11 Israel is crushed by the punishment,because it decided to follow idols.
