¹¹ When Ephraim added more altars to take away sin,
        they became altars to him for sinning.
¹² Even though I write out for him a large number of my instructions,
        they are regarded as strange.
¹³ Though they offer choice sacrifices,^[a]
        though they eat flesh,
        the Lord doesn’t accept them.
    Now he will remember their wickedness
        and punish their sins;
        they will return to Egypt.
¹⁴ Israel has forgotten his maker,
        and built palaces;
    and Judah has multiplied walled cities;
        but I will send a fire upon his cities,
        and it will devour his fortresses.
