11 For you also, O (A)Judah, (B)a harvest is appointed.

When (C)I restore the fortunes of my people,
(D)when I would heal Israel,
    the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the evil deeds of (E)Samaria,
for (F)they deal falsely;
    the thief breaks in,
    and the bandits raid outside.
But they do not consider
    that (G)I remember all their evil.
Now (H)their deeds surround them;
    (I)they are before my face.

11 Also, Judah, there is a (A)harvest appointed for you,
When I (B)restore the fortunes of My people.

Ephraim’s Wrongdoing

When I (C)would heal Israel,
The wrongdoing of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they practice (D)deception;
The thief enters,
A band of (E)robbers attack outside,
And they do not [a]consider in their hearts
That I (F)remember all their wickedness.
Now their (G)deeds surround them;
They are before My face.
