Hosea 5:8-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
8 Blow the horn in Gib′e-ah,
the trumpet in Ramah.
Sound the alarm at Beth-a′ven;
tremble,[a] O Benjamin!
9 E′phraim shall become a desolation
in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
I declare what is sure.
10 The princes of Judah have become
like those who remove the landmark;
upon them I will pour out
my wrath like water.
11 E′phraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,
because he was determined to go after vanity.[b]
12 Therefore I am like a moth to E′phraim,
and like dry rot to the house of Judah.
13 When E′phraim saw his sickness,
and Judah his wound,
then E′phraim went to Assyria,
and sent to the great king.[c]
But he is not able to cure you
or heal your wound.
