1 Hear this, priests!Pay attention, house of Israel!Listen, house of the king!The judgment concerns you because you have been a trap at Mizpah,and a net spread out upon Tabor.
2 In their wicked condition, they have sunk deep into corruption;I will correct them through judgment.
3 I know Ephraim; Israel doesn’t escape my eye;for now Ephraimyou have acted like a prostitute;Israel is defiled.
4 Their deeds don’t allow themto return to their God,because the spirit of prostitution is within them,and they don’t know the Lord.
