Hosea 5:5-14
“ The arrogance of Israel testifies against her; Israel and Ephraim will stumble under their load of guilt. Judah, too, will fall with them.When they come with their flocks and herds to offer sacrifices to the Lord, they will not find him, because he has withdrawn from them.They have betrayed the honor of the Lord, bearing children that are not his.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.“ Sound the alarm in Gibeah! Blow the trumpet in Ramah! Raise the battle cry in Beth aven! Lead on into battle, O warriors of Benjamin!One thing is certain, Israel: On your day of punishment, you will become a heap of rubble.“ The leaders of Judah have become like thieves. So I will pour my anger on them like a waterfall.The people of Israel will be crushed and broken by my judgment because they are determined to worship idols.I will destroy Israel as a moth consumes wool. I will make Judah as weak as rotten wood.“ When Israel and Judah saw how sick they were, Israel turned to Assyria— to the great king there— but he could neither help nor cure them.I will be like a lion to Israel, like a strong young lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces! I will carry them off, and no one will be left to rescue them.

They have been led astray by the same lies that deceived their ancestors.So I will send down fire on Judah, and all the fortresses of Jerusalem will be destroyed.”This is what the Lord says:“ The people of Israel have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They sell honorable people for silver and poor people for a pair of sandals.They trample helpless people in the dust and shove the oppressed out of the way.
