3. I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from me;for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;Israel is defiled.
4. Their deeds do not permit themto return to their God.For the spirit of whoredom is within them,and they know not the Lord.
5. The pride of Israel testifies to his face;Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in his guilt; Judah also shall stumble with them.
