4 Their doings will not allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don`t know Yahweh.
5 The pride of Israel does testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they shall not find him: he has withdrawn himself from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously against Yahweh; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.
8 Blow you the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind you, Benjamin.
9 Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
