Hosea 5:9

The Priests Are A Snare

⁸ Blow the horn in Gibeah,
the trumpet in Ramah;
raise the war cry in Beth-aven:
After you, Benjamin!
⁹ Ephraim will become a desolation
on the day of punishment;
I announce what is certain
among the tribes of Israel.
¹⁰ The princes of Judah are like those
who move boundary markers;
I will pour out My fury on them like water.
