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He has withdrawn Himself from them.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.
