Then said Yahweh unto me, Once more, go love a woman who loveth a friend, and is an adulteress, - according to the love of Yahweh unto the sons of Israel, though they keep turning away unto other gods, and love idolatrous raisin-cakes.

My people perish, because they have no knowledge. Seeing then that thou hast refused understanding, therefore will I refuse thee also: so that thou shalt no more be my priest. And forsomuch as thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

"The more altars Ephraim builds for sin, the more altars there will be for sin.

As for My sacrificial offerings,
They sacrifice the meat [as a mere formality] and eat it,

And punish them for their sins.
They will return [in captivity] to [another] Egypt [that is, Assyria].

Do not thou triumph, O Israel; make no boasting more than the Heathen. For thou hast committed adultery against thy God: strange rewards hast thou loved, more than all the corn floors.

your tenths every three days.

“Those who swear [their oaths] by the sin (guilt) of Samaria or Ashimah (a pagan goddess),
Who say, ‘By the life of your god [the golden calf], O Dan!’

They shall fall and not rise again.”

“Are you [degenerate ones] not as the [despised] sons of Ethiopia to Me,
O sons of Israel?” says the Lord.
