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.
11 “Ephrayim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because it pleased him to walk after Tsaw.
12 “So I am to Ephrayim like a moth, and to the house of Yehuḏah like rottenness.
13 “When Ephrayim saw his sickness, and Yehuḏah saw his wound, then Ephrayim went to Ashshur and sent to Sovereign Yarĕḇ. But he is unable to heal you, or to remove the wound from you.
14 “For I am like a lion to Ephrayim, and like a young lion to the house of Yehuḏah. I Myself tear them and go, I take them away, and there is no one to deliver.
