7Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.
8Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
10Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
11Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
12And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
13And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
