1"Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel,
2The rebels are deep in slaughter;
3I know Ephraim,
4Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God;
5The pride of Israel testifies to his face.
6They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek JEHOVAH;
7They are unfaithful to JEHOVAH;
8"Blow the cornet in Gibeah,
9Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke.
10The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark.
11Ephraim is oppressed,
12Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,
13"When Ephraim saw his sickness,
14For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,
15I will go and return to my place,
