Hosea 5:10

Judgment

8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O Benjamin!

9 Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon them like water.

11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless idols.

12 So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
