They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 5 of Hosea. The accusation is directed at the priests, the house of Israel, and the house of the king because all have contributed to leading the people astray. Mizpah and Tabor, strategic locations, become images of an extensive network of corruption. Israel has fathered illegitimate children in a spiritual sense and abandoned the Lord. Judgment is approaching because unfaithfulness is no longer accidental, but structural.

Sie verachten den HERRN und zeugen fremde Kinder; darum wird sie auch der Neumond fressen mit ihrem Erbteil.
Contra Jehová prevaricaron, porque hijos extraños han engendrado: ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.
Han sido infieles a Jehová, pues han engendrado hijos ilegítimos. Ahora la luna nueva los devorará junto con sus heredades.
Ils ont été infidèles à l'Eternel, Car ils ont engendré des enfants illégitimes; Maintenant un mois suffira pour les dévorer avec leurs biens.
Essi si sono dislealmente portati inverso il Signore; conciossiachè abbiano generati figliuoli bastardi; ora li divorerà un mese, con le lor possessioni
Aleivosamente se houveram contra o SENHOR, porque geraram filhos estranhos; agora em um só mês os consumirá com as suas porções.
他們不忠於耶和華, 生了私生子。 現在新月必吞滅他們和他們的地業。
