Verse 11 is found in chapter 5 of Hosea. The sound of the trumpet announces danger as Ephraim and Judah face the consequences of their political decisions. Ephraim is compared to something consumed and Judah to decay. The language of medicine and warfare shows that political alliances have not solved the spiritual problem. The people’s sickness is deeper than a diplomatic crisis: it arises from abandoning God.
