Hosea 5:8-10
The Message
Hosea 5:8-10
The Message
8-9 “Blow the ram’s horn shofar in Gibeah,
the bugle in Ramah!
Signal the invasion of Sin City!
Scare the daylights out of Benjamin!
Ephraim will be left wasted,
a lifeless moonscape.
I’m telling it straight, the unvarnished truth,
to the tribes of Israel.
10 “Israel’s rulers are crooks and thieves,
cheating the people of their land,
And I’m angry, good and angry.
Every inch of their bodies is going to feel my anger.
Hosea 5:8-10
New International Version
Hosea 5:8-10
New International Version
8 “Sound the trumpet(A) in Gibeah,(B)
the horn in Ramah.(C)
Raise the battle cry in Beth Aven[a];(D)
lead on, Benjamin.
9 Ephraim will be laid waste(E)
on the day of reckoning.(F)
Among the tribes of Israel
I proclaim what is certain.(G)
10 Judah’s leaders are like those
who move boundary stones.(H)
I will pour out my wrath(I) on them
like a flood of water.
