2 and a pit dug deep in Shittim;but I will discipline them all.
3 I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from Me;for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore.Israel is defiled.
4 Their deeds do not allow themto return to their God;for a spirit of harlotry is in their midst,and they do not know the Lord.
5 The pride of Israel testifies against him.Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity.Judah also stumbles with them.
6 With their flocks and their herds they will goto seek the Lord,but they will not find Him.He has withdrawn from them.
7 They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord,for they have given birth to illegitimate children.Now the New Moon will devour themalong with their portion.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah,and the trumpet in Ramah.Cry aloud at Beth Aven,“Look behind you, O Benjamin!”
