Hosea 5:6-8
Expanded Bible

6 They will come to ·worship [L seek] the Lord,
    bringing their flocks and herds,
but they will not be able to find him,
    because he has ·left [withdrawn from] them.
7 They have ·not been true to [been unfaithful to; dealt treacherously with] the Lord;
    they ·are children who do not belong to him [or bear illegitimate/alien children].
So ·their false worship [L a new moon; C a festival]
    will ·destroy [L devour] them and their ·land [wealth; portion].

8 “Blow the ·horn [trumpet; ram’s horn] in Gibeah
    and the trumpet in Ramah [C used to sound a warning or call to battle].
·Give the warning [Sound the alarm; Raise the battle cry] at Beth Aven [4:15],
    ·and be first into battle [or lead on; or we are with you], ·people of Benjamin [L Benjamin].
