5. And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with them.
6. With their flocks, and with their herds, they shall go to seek the Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.
7. They have transgressed against the Lord, for they have begotten children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
8. Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama: howl ye in Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.
9. Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
10. The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11. Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he began to go after filthiness.
