And [b]defiled with blood.
As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man,
So the company of (B)priests (C)murder on the way to Shechem;
Surely they commit (D)lewdness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel:

Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you,
When I return the captives of My people.
