Ephraim’s Guilt

11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed,
    when I restore the fortunes of my people,

when I would heal Israel,
and the corruption of Ephraim is revealed,
    and the wicked deeds of Samaria;
because they deal in falsehood,
    the thief breaks in,[a]
    and the bandit raids the outside.
But they did not consider[b]
    that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them;
    they are before my face.

when I heal Israel,(C)
the sins of Ephraim(D) and the crimes of Samaria(E)
will be exposed.
For they practice fraud;(F)
a thief breaks in;
a raiding party pillages outside.(G)
But they never consider that I remember all their evil.(H)
Now their sins are all around them;(I)
they are right in front of My face.
