11 Yea, Judah hath set a [a]plant for thee, while I would return the captivity of my people.

1 Of the vices and wantonness of the people. 12 Of their punishment.

When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they have dealt falsely: and [b]the thief cometh in, and the robber spoileth without.

And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: now their own inventions have beset them about: they are in my sight.
