11 Also, O Judah, there is a (A)harvest set for you
When I (B)restore the fortunes of My people,

When I (C)would heal Israel,
Then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they work (D)falsehood;
The thief enters in;
(E)Raiders [a]ransack outside,
And they do not say to their hearts
That I (F)remember all their evil.
Now their (G)deeds are all around them;
They are before My face.

11 Judah, also for you, a harvest has been appointed,
    when I restore the fortunes of my people.[a]

Israel’s Corruption

Whenever I want to heal Israel,
the guilt of Ephraim is uncovered,
    and the evil deeds of Samaria are exposed,
    because they deal dishonestly.
    Thieves come inside,
    and bandits raid outside.
In their hearts Ephraim does not realize that I remember all their wickedness.
    Now their deeds are all around them.
    They are in front of my face.
