11 Since Ephraim has (A)multiplied altars for sin,
They have become altars of sinning for him.
12 Though (B)I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My (C)law,
They are counted as a strange thing.
13 As for My (D)sacrificial gifts,
They (E)sacrifice the flesh and eat it,
But Yahweh has not accepted them.
Now He will (F)remember their iniquity
And (G)punish them for their sins;
They will return to (H)Egypt.
14 So Israel has (I)forgotten his Maker and (J)built palaces;
And Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
But I will send a (K)fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.

11 When Ephraim multiplied altars to expiate sin,
    they became to him altars for sinning.
12 Though I write for him the multitude of my instructions,
    they are regarded as a strange thing.(A)
13 Though they offer choice sacrifices,[a]
    though they eat flesh,
    the Lord does not accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity
    and punish their sins;
    they shall return to Egypt.(B)
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker
    and built palaces,
and Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
    but I will send a fire upon his cities,
    and it shall devour his strongholds.(C)
