The merchant uses dishonest scales(A)
    and loves to defraud.
Ephraim boasts,(B)
    “I am very rich; I have become wealthy.(C)

“I have been the Lord your God
    ever since you came out of Egypt;(D)
I will make you live in tents(E) again,
    as in the days of your appointed festivals.
10 I spoke to the prophets,
    gave them many visions
    and told parables(F) through them.”(G)

    Their altars will be like piles of stones
    on a plowed field.(J)

    (L)on the furrows of the field.
