When I restore the fortunes of my people,(K)

  1. 6:7 Or they, as at Adam, or they, like men,

    But like Adam[a] they broke the covenant;
            then they acted in bad faith against me.
    Gilead is a city of wicked people,
            tracked with blood.

            so the priests are in league with each other;
                they murder on the road to Shechem;
            they have done evil things.
10     In the house of Israel I have seen something horrible;
            Ephraim acts like a prostitute; Israel is defiled.
11     For you also, Judah, a harvest is appointed,
            when I would improve the circumstances of my people.
