aThey shall go to seek the Lord,
But they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.
For they have begotten1 pagan children.
Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.
The trumpet in Ramah!
bCry aloud at cBeth Aven,
‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’
Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.
I will pour out My wrath on them like water.

Hosea 5:8
Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah - Gibeah and Ramah were cities of Judah, in the tribe of Benjamin.
After thee, O Benjamin - An abrupt call of warning. "Benjamin, fly for thy life! The enemy is just behind thee!" This is a prediction of the invasion of the Assyrians, and the captivity of the ten tribes.
