Hosea 5:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord,
    for they have given birth to illegitimate children.
Now the New Moon will devour them
    along with their portion.

⁸ Blow the horn in Gibeah,
    and the trumpet in Ramah.
Cry aloud at Beth Aven,
    “Look behind you, O Benjamin!”^[a]
9 Ephraim will become desolate
    in the day of punishment.
Among the tribes of Israel
    I make known that which is sure.
