“Blow the horn in Gibeah
    and the trumpet in Ramah.
Give the warning at Beth Aven,
    and be first into battle, people of Benjamin.
Israel will be ruined
    on the day of punishment.
To the tribes of Israel
    I tell the truth.
10 The leaders of Judah are like those
    who steal other people’s land.
I will pour my punishment over them
    like a flood of water.
