2. they dug a deep pit in Shittim, but I am a punishment for all of them.

3. I myself know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; because now you have played the whore, O Ephraim— Israel is defiled.

4. Their deeds do not permit them to return them to God. Because a spirit of whoredom is in their midst, they do not know Yahweh.
