11 “Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you,
    when I restore the fortunes of my people.

When I would heal Israel,

    then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
    also the wickedness of Samaria;
    for they commit falsehood,
    and the thief enters in,
    and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness.
    Now their own deeds have engulfed them.
    They are before my face.

11 “So, Judah, a harvest has been appointed for you
    when I restore my people from captivity.”

God Accuses Israel

“When I was healing Israel,
Ephraim’s sin was uncovered,
        along with Samaria’s wickedness.
While they craft lying schemes,
    the thief invades,
        and the gang of thieves plunders outside.
It never occurs to them that I remember all their sin.
    Now their actions have caught up with them,
        and they have my attention.[a]
