1Hear this, O priests!
Give heed, O house of Israel!
Listen, O house of the king!
because you have been a snare for Mizpah,
2they dug a deep pit in Shittim,[#Hebrew uncertain]
3I myself know Ephraim,
because now you have played the whore, O Ephraim—
4Their deeds do not permit them
Because a spirit of whoredom is in their midst,
5The pride of Israel testifies against him,[#Literally “against his face;” see 7:10]
6With their flocks and herds they will go[#Hebrew “flock”; #Hebrew “herd”]
7They have dealt faithlessly with Yahweh
Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
8Blow the horn in Gibeah,[#Hebrew “shofar”]
Sound the alarm in Beth-aven;
9Ephraim will be a desolation
among the tribes of Israel
10The princes of Judah have become
on them I will pour out
11Ephraim is oppressed,
because he was determined
12But I am like a maggot to Ephraim
13And when Ephraim saw his illness,
Ephraim went to Assyria,
But he was unable to cure you
14Because I will be like a lion to Ephraim
I myself will tear and I will go;
15I will return again to my place[#Literally “I will go, I will return”]
