Hosea 5:9

The Priests Are A Snare

⁸
Blow the horn in Gibeah,
The trumpet in Ramah [the lofty hills on Benjamin’s northern border].
Sound the alarm at Beth-aven:
“Behind you and coming after you [is the enemy], O Benjamin [be on guard]!”
⁹ 
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is certain.
¹⁰
The princes of Judah are like those who move a boundary marker;
I will pour out My wrath on them like [an unrestrained flood of] water.
