I know Ephraim, and Israel cannot hide from me, since you, Ephraim, have been acting like a prostitute, defiling Israel.

The arrogance of Israel testifies against him; therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity, and Judah with them.

I have seen a horrible evil in the house of Israel Ephraim's promiscuity. Israel is defiled.

I will be like the dew to Israel; Israel will blossom like a lily, growing roots like the cedars of Lebanon.
