Hosea 5:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ They have betrayed the honor of the Lord,
    bearing children that are not his.
Now their false religion will devour them
    along with their wealth.^[a]

⁸ “Sound the alarm in Gibeah!
    Blow the trumpet in Ramah!
Raise the battle cry in Beth-aven^[b]!
    Lead on into battle, O warriors of Benjamin!
⁹ One thing is certain, Israel^[c]:
    On your day of punishment,
    you will become a heap of rubble.
