Hosea 5:8-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Blow the horn in Gibeah,and the trumpet in Ramah.Cry aloud at Beth Aven,“Look behind you, O Benjamin!”

9. Ephraim will become desolatein the day of punishment.Among the tribes of IsraelI make known that which is sure.

10. The princes of Judah have becomelike those who remove a boundary marker.Upon them I will pour outMy wrath like water.

11. Ephraim is oppressedand broken in judgment,because he eagerly followed after vanity.

12. Therefore I will be like pus to Ephraimand like rottenness to the house of Judah.
