But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant.
    They were unfaithful to me, there.
Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity;
    it is stained with blood.
As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man,
    so the company of priests murder on the path toward Shechem,
    committing shameful crimes.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing.
    There is prostitution in Ephraim.
    Israel is defiled.

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