11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed.

When I would restore the fortunes of my people,(A)

when I would heal Israel,
    the corruption of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the wicked deeds of Samaria,
for they deal falsely;
    the thief breaks in,
    and the bandits raid outside.(B)
But they do not consider
    that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them;
    they are before my face.(C)

11     For you also, Judah, a harvest is appointed,
            when I would improve the circumstances of my people.

    When I would heal Israel,
            the evil acts of Ephraim are exposed,
                and the wicked deeds of Samaria;
            for they deceive and steal,
                a thief breaks in;
                a group of bandits raid outside.
    But they don’t consider within their hearts
            that I remember all their wickedness.
    Now their deeds show who they are,
            right in front of my face.
