I know all about Ephraim;
    Israel is not hidden(A) from me.
Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;
    Israel is corrupt.(B)

“Their deeds do not permit them
    to return(C) to their God.
A spirit of prostitution(D) is in their heart;
    they do not acknowledge(E) the Lord.
Israel’s arrogance testifies(F) against them;
    the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble(G) in their sin;
    Judah also stumbles with them.(H)

They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
