O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 10 of Hosea. Hosea again mentions the guilt of Gibeah to affirm that Israel continues repeating ancient patterns of violence. The nations are presented as instruments through which God may judge the accumulation of wickedness. The image of the yoke shows that discipline will correspond to the people’s persistence in their own ways.

Israel, du hast seit der Zeit Gibeas gesündigt; dabei sind sie auch geblieben. Aber es soll sie ein Streit, nicht gleich dem zu Gibea, ergreifen, so wider die bösen Leute geschah;
Desde los días de Gabaa has pecado, oh Israel: allí estuvieron: no los tomó la batalla en Gabaa contra los inicuos.
«Desde los días de Gabaa has pecado, Israel; allí se han quedado. ¿No los alcanzará en Gabaa la guerra contra los hijos de la iniquidad?
Depuis les jours de Guibea tu as péché, Israël! Là ils restèrent debout, La guerre contre les méchants ne les atteignit pas à Guibea.
O Israele, tu hai peccato da’ giorni di Ghibea; là si presentarono in battaglia, la quale non li colse in Ghibea, coi figliuoli d’iniquità.
Desde os dias de Gibeá pecaste, ó Israel; ali permaneceram; a peleja em Gibeá, contra os filhos da perversidade, não os alcançará.
以色列 啊, 你從 基比亞 的日子以來就時常犯罪, 他們仍停留在那裏。 攻擊罪孽之輩的戰事豈不會臨到 基比亞 嗎?
