5. Israel, your pridetestifies to your guilt;it makes you stumble,and Judah stumbles too.
6. You offer sheep and cattleas sacrifices to me,but I have turned awayand refuse to be found.
7. You have been unfaithfulto me, your Lord;you have had childrenby prostitutes.So at the New Moon Festival,you and your cropswill be destroyed.
8. Give a warning on the trumpet!Let it be heard in Gibeah,Ramah, and sinful Bethel.Benjamin, watch out!
9. I, the Lord, will punishand wipe out Israel.This is my solemn promiseto every tribe of Israel.
10. Judah's leaders are like crookswho move boundary markers;that's why I will flood themwith my anger.
11. Israel was brutally crushed.They got what they deservedfor worshipping useless idols.
12. Now I, the Lord,will fill Israel with maggotsand make Judah rot.
