Hosea 5:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ ·Israel [^LEphraim; 4:17] will be ·ruined [laid waste; desolate]
    on the day of ·punishment [rebuke; reckoning].
To the tribes of Israel
    I ·tell the truth [^Lmake known what is certain].
¹⁰ The ·leaders [princes] of Judah are like those
    who ·steal other people’s land [^Lmove boundary markers; ^Ca serious crime in the ancient world; Deut. 19:14; 27:17; Prov. 15:25].
I will pour my ·punishment over [wrath on] them
    like ·a flood of water [^Lwater].
¹¹ ·Israel [^LEphraim; 4:17] is ·beaten down [oppressed] and crushed by the ·punishment [judgment],
    because it ·decided [was determined] to follow ·idols [or worthless things; or human precepts].
