Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,
They have become altars of sinning for him.

They offer sacrifices on the tops of the mountains
And burn incense on the hills,
Under oak, poplar and terebinth,
Because their shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters play the harlot
And your brides commit adultery.

The more they called them,
The more they went from them;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to idols.
