¹¹ “Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,
    these have become altars for sinning.^(A)
12 I wrote for them the many things of my law,
    but they regarded them as something foreign.^(B)
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
    and though they eat^(C) the meat,
    the Lord is not pleased with them.^(D)
Now he will remember^(E) their wickedness
    and punish their sins:^(F)
    They will return to Egypt.^(G)
14 Israel has forgotten^(H) their Maker^(I)
    and built palaces;
    Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
    that will consume their fortresses.”^(J)
