Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, Israel;
There they stand!
Will the battle against the sons of injustice not overtake them in Gibeah?
10 When it is My (A)desire, I will [a](B)discipline them;
And (C)the peoples will be gathered against them
When they are bound for their double guilt.

11 Ephraim is a trained (D)heifer that loves to thresh,
[b]And I (E)passed over her lovely neck;
I will harness Ephraim,
Judah will plow, Jacob will [c]harrow for himself.
