8. Ephraim was a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.
9. They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
11. As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
