And I said to her, You shall abide for me many days. You shall not be a harlot, nor be for a man. And I also will be for you.

Therefore the land shall mourn, and everyone who dwells in it shall droop, with the beasts of the field and with the birds of the heavens. Yes, the fish of the sea shall also be taken away.

And you shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with you in the night, and I will cut off your mother.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priest to Me. Since you have forgotten the Law of your God, I will also forget your sons, even I.

Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart; they call to Egypt; they go to Assyria.

It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to King Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.

I also taught Ephraim to go; He took them on His arm. But they did not know that I healed them.

I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and have used parables by the hand of the prophets.
