Moreover, the ^(g)pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; ^(h)Judah also has stumbled with them.

They will ⁽ⁱ⁾go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord , but they will ^(j)not find Him; He has ^(k)withdrawn from them.

They have ^(l)dealt treacherously against the Lord , For they have borne ^[b](m)illegitimate children. Now the ⁽ⁿ⁾new moon will devour them with their ^[c]land.

^(o)Blow the horn in ^(p)Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: "^(q)Behind you, Benjamin!"

Ephraim will become a ^(r)desolation in the ^(s)day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I ^(t)declare what is sure.

The princes of Judah have become like those who ^(u)move a boundary; On them I will ^(v)pour out My wrath ^(w)like water.

Ephraim is ^(x)oppressed, crushed in judgment, ^(y)Because he was determined to ^[d]follow man's command.

Therefore I am like a ^(z)moth to Ephraim And like rottenness to the house of Judah.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his ^[e]wound, Then Ephraim went to ^(aa)Assyria And sent to ^[f](ab)King Jareb. But he is ^(ac)unable to heal you, Or to cure you of your ^[g]wound.

For I will be ^(ad)like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. ^(ae)I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be ^(af)none to deliver.

I will go away and return to My place Until they ^[h](ag)acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly ^(ah)seek Me.
