“Every time I gave Israel a fresh start,wiped the slate clean and got them going again,Ephraim soon filled the slate with new sins,the treachery of Samaria written out in bold print.Two-faced and double-tongued,they steal you blind, pick you clean.It never crosses their mindthat I keep account of their every crime.They’re mud-spattered head to toe with the residue of sin.I see who they are and what they’ve done.
