Hosea 5:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 5:9

7 They have ^adealt treacherously with the Lord,
For they have begotten¹ pagan children.
Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.

8 “Blow^a the ram’s horn in Gibeah,
The trumpet in Ramah!
^bCry aloud at ^cBeth Aven,
‘Look behind you, O Benjamin!’

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.

10 “The princes of Judah are like those who ^aremove a landmark;
I will pour out My wrath on them like water.

11 Ephraim is ^aoppressed and broken in judgment,
Because he willingly walked by ^bhuman precept.

12 Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth,
And to the house of Judah ^alike rottenness.
