Hosea 5:9-11

The Voice

⁹     Ephraim will be devastated when they are punished with this invasion from the south.
        (This is sure to happen, and I’m announcing it to all the tribes of Israel!)
¹⁰     But I’ll also punish the leaders of Judah—
        I’ll pour out My wrath on them like water—
    Because they’re trying to snatch this territory of Benjamin’s.
        They’ve become like the dishonest people who move boundary-stones.
¹¹     Ephraim is oppressed, crushed by punishment,
        because he insists on pursuing empty ways and trusting others to save him.
