4 “Their deeds do not allow them to turn back to their Elohim, for the spirit of whorings is among them, and they do not know יהוה.
5 “And the Excellency of Yisra’ĕl shall witness to his face, and Yisra’ĕl and Ephrayim stumble in their crookedness. Yehuḏah shall also stumble with them.
6 “With their flocks and herds they go to seek יהוה, but do not find Him – He has withdrawn from them.
7 “They have acted treacherously against יהוה, for they have brought forth strange children. Now a new moon shall devour them with their portions.
8 “Blow the ram’s horn in Gib‛ah, the trumpet in Ramah! Shout, O Bĕyth Awen! Behind you, O Binyamin!
9 “Ephrayim is laid waste in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Yisra’ĕl I shall make known what is certain.
10 “The chiefs of Yehuḏah shall be like those who remove a border – on them I pour out my wrath like water.
