The Trained Heifer
11 And Ephraim is a trained (A)heifer that loves to thresh,
But I will (B)come over her fair neck with a yoke;

Until He (F)comes and [a](G)rains righteousness on you.
13 You have (H)plowed wickedness; you have reaped injustice;
You have eaten the fruit of (I)deception.
Because you have trusted in your way, in your (J)abundant warriors,
