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

Ephraim’s Wrongdoing

When I (C)would heal Israel,
The wrongdoing of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they practice (D)deception;
The thief enters,
A band of (E)robbers attack outside,
And they do not [a]consider in their hearts
That I (F)remember all their wickedness.
Now their (G)deeds surround them;
They are before My face.

Israel Has Rebelled Against God

“When I would have healed Israel,
Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
And the wickedness of Samaria.
For (A)they have committed fraud;
A thief comes in;
A band of robbers [a]takes spoil outside.

That (B)I remember all their wickedness;
Now their own deeds have surrounded them;
They are before My face.
