1. Hear this, priests,Pay attention, house of Israel,Household of the king, give ear!For you are responsible for judgment.But you have been a snare at Mizpah,a net spread upon Tabor,
2. a pit dug deep in Shittim.Now I will discipline them all.
3. I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from me:Now, Ephraim, you have practiced prostitution,Israel is defiled.
4. Their deeds do not allow themto return to their God;For the spirit of prostitution is in them,and they do not know the Lord.
5. The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him;Israel and Ephraim stumble because of their iniquity,and Judah stumbles with them.
