Hosea 5:5-14
The arrogance of Israel testifies against it; Israel and Ephraim will be overthrown because of their iniquity. Even Judah will be brought down with them.Although they bring their flocks and herds to seek the favor of the LORD, They will not find him– he has withdrawn himself from them!They have committed treason against the LORD, because they bore illegitimate children. Soon the new moon festival will devour them and their fields.Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Sound the alarm in Beth Aven! Tremble in fear, O Benjamin!Ephraim will be ruined in the day of judgment! What I am declaring to the tribes of Israel will certainly take place!The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers. I will pour out my rage on them like a torrential flood!Ephraim will be oppressed, crushed under judgment, because he was determined to pursue worthless idols.I will be like a moth to Ephraim, like wood rot to the house of Judah.When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria, and begged its great king for help. But he will not be able to heal you! He cannot cure your wound!I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear them to pieces, then I will carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them!

Amos 2:4-8
This is what the LORD says:“ Because Judah has committed three covenant transgressions– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They rejected the LORD’s law; they did not obey his commands. Their false gods, to which their fathers were loyal, led them astray.So I will set Judah on fire, and it will consume Jerusalem’s fortresses.”This is what the LORD says:“ Because Israel has committed three covenant transgressions– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They sold the innocent for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals.They trample on the dirt-covered heads of the poor; they push the destitute away. A man and his father go to the same girl; in this way they show disrespect for my moral purity.They stretch out on clothing seized as collateral; they do so right beside every altar! They drink wine bought with the fines they have levied; they do so right in the temple of their God!
