1. Hear this, O priests!Pay attention, O house of Israel!Give ear, O house of the king!For the judgment is for you;for you have been a snare at Mizpahand a net spread upon Tabor.
2. And the revolters have gone deep into slaughter,but I will discipline all of them.
3. I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from me;for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;Israel is defiled.
4. Their deeds do not permit themto return to their God.For the spirit of whoredom is within them,and they know not the Lord.
