4 They will not give up their evil deeds to return to their God. For a spirit of prostitution is in them, and Adonai they have not known.
5 The Pride of Israel will answer to his face: Israel and Ephraim will stagger in their iniquity, Judah also will stumble with them.
6 With their flocks and with their herds they will go to seek Adonai, but they will not find Him— He has withdrawn from them.
7 They have betrayed Adonai, for they have begotten foreign children. Now the New Moon will devour them, with their portions.
8 Blow a shofar in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah! Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: “Behind you, Benjamin!”
9 Ephraim will become desolate in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I made known what is certain.
10 The princes of Judah were like those who move a boundary mark. I pour out My fury on them like water.
