“Sound the alarm in Gibeah!
    Blow the trumpet in Ramah!
Raise the battle cry in Beth-aven[a]!
    Lead on into battle, O warriors of Benjamin!
One thing is certain, Israel[b]:
    On your day of punishment,
    you will become a heap of rubble.

10 “The leaders of Judah have become like thieves.[c]
    So I will pour my anger on them like a waterfall.
