11 For you also, O (A)Judah, (B)a harvest is appointed.

When (C)I restore the fortunes of my people,
(D)when I would heal Israel,
    the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the evil deeds of (E)Samaria,
for (F)they deal falsely;
    the thief breaks in,
    and the bandits raid outside.
But they do not consider
    that (G)I remember all their evil.
Now (H)their deeds surround them;
    (I)they are before my face.

Ephraim’s Guilt

11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed,
    when I restore the fortunes of my people,

when I would heal Israel,
and the corruption of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the wicked deeds of Samaria;
because they deal in falsehood,
    the thief breaks in,[a]
    and the bandit raids the outside.
But they did not consider[b]
    that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them;
    they are before my face.
