2. The revolters have gone deep in depravity, But I will chastise all of them.
3. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.
4. Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the Lord.
5. Moreover, the pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also has stumbled with them.
6. They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.
7. They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, For they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their land.
8. Blow the horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah. Sound an alarm at Beth-aven: "Behind you, Benjamin!"
9. Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
10. The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water.
