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.

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.
