¹¹ Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning,
    they became for him altars for sinning.
¹² I wrote for him the many things of my law;
    but they were regarded as a strange thing.
¹³ As for the sacrifices of my offerings,
    they sacrifice meat and eat it;
    But Yahweh doesn’t accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity,
    and punish their sins.
    They will return to Egypt.
¹⁴ For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
    and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
    but I will send a fire on his cities,
    and it will devour its fortresses.”
