³ I have not gained wisdom,
and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.^(A)

¹² Ephraim surrounds me with lies,^(A)
the house of Israel, with deceit.
Judah still wanders with God
and is faithful to the holy ones.^[a]

You are just,
the Holy One,^(A) who is and who was,^(B)
because you have passed judgment on these things.
