1. “Listen to this, you priests!Listen, house of Israel,and give ear, house of the king!For the judgement is against you;for you have been a snare at Mizpah,and a net spread on Tabor.
2. The rebels are deep in slaughter;but I discipline all of them.
3. I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from me;for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute.Israel is defiled.
4. Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God;for the spirit of prostitution is within them,and they don’t know the Lord.
