16. Israel has rebelled like a stubborn heifer!Soon the Lord will put them out to pasturelike a lamb in a broad field!
17. Ephraim has attached himself to idols;Do not go near him!
18. They consume their alcohol, then engage in cult prostitution;they dearly love their shameful behavior.
19. A whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings;they will be brought to shame because of their idolatrous worship.
