3 I I know Ephraim and Israel not it is hidden from me for now you have prostituted yourself O Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
4 Not they permit deeds their to return to God their for a spirit of prostitution [is] in inner being their and Yahweh not they know.
They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known Yhwh.
5 And it testifies [the] pride of Israel in face its and Israel and Ephraim they will stumble on iniquity their it will stumble also Judah with them.
And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yhwh; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
7 With Yahweh they have dealt treacherously for children strange they have borne now it will devour them a new moon with portions their.
They have dealt treacherously against Yhwh: for they have begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah a trumpet in Ramah sound an alarm Beth Aven after you O Benjamin.
Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth–aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim a waste it will become on [the] day of rebuke among [the] tribes of Israel I make known [something] trustworthy.
Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
10 They have become [the] leaders of Judah like [those who] displace a boundary on them I will pour out like water wrath my.
The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11 [is] oppressed Ephraim [is] crushed of judgment for he was determined he walked after a command.
Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
12 And I [am] like moth to Ephraim and like rottenness to [the] house of Judah.
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13 And he saw Ephraim sickness his and Judah wound his and he went Ephraim to Assyria and he sent to king Jareb and he not he is able to heal you and not it will depart from you [the] wound.
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
14 For I [will be] like lion to Ephraim and like young lion to [the] house of Judah I I I will tear to pieces and I may go I will carry off and there not [will be] a deliverer.
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
15 I will go I will return to place my until that they will be held guilty and they will seek face my when it is distress to them they will seek earnestly me.
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
