The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me;
I will change their glory into shame.

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

For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
And Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.

Ephraim feeds on wind,
And pursues the east wind continually;
He multiplies lies and violence.
Moreover, he makes a covenant with Assyria,
And oil is carried to Egypt.
