Blow a shofar in Gibeah,
a trumpet in Ramah!
Sound an alarm at Beth-aven:
“Behind you, Benjamin!”
Ephraim will be become desolate
    in the day of rebuke.
Among the tribes of Israel
    I made known what is certain.
10 The princes of Judah were like those who move a boundary mark.
I pour out My fury on them like water.
