A merchant, in whose hands are (A)false balances,
    he loves (B)to oppress.
Ephraim has said, “Ah, but (C)I am rich;
    I have found wealth for myself;
in all my labors (D)they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”
(E)I am the Lord your God
    from the land of Egypt;
I will again make you (F)dwell in tents,
    as in the days of the appointed feast.

10 (G)I spoke to the prophets;
    it was I who multiplied (H)visions,
    and through the prophets gave parables.
11 (I)If there is iniquity in Gilead,
    they shall surely come to nothing:

    (K)their altars also are like stone heaps
    (L)on the furrows of the field.
