1. Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel!Listen, royal house!For the judgment applies to youbecause you have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor.
2. Rebels are deeply involved in slaughter; I will be a punishment for all of them.
3. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me.For now, Ephraim, you have acted promiscuously;Israel is defiled.
