From (A)the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel;
    there they have continued.
    Shall not the war against the unjust[a] overtake them in Gibeah?
10 (B)When I please, (C)I will discipline them,
    and nations shall be gathered against them
    when they are bound up for (D)their double iniquity.

11 Ephraim was a trained calf
    that (E)loved to thresh,
    and I spared her fair neck;
but I will put (F)Ephraim to the yoke;
    (G)Judah must plow;
    Jacob must harrow for himself.

“Since the days of Gibeah,(A) you have sinned,(B) Israel,
    and there you have remained.[a]
Will not war again overtake
    the evildoers in Gibeah?
10 When I please, I will punish(C) them;
    nations will be gathered against them
    to put them in bonds for their double sin.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
    that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke(D)
    on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
    Judah must plow,
    and Jacob must break up the ground.
