“O Israel, you have sinned from the days of (A)Gibeah;
There they stood.
The (B)battle in Gibeah against the children of [a]iniquity
Did not [b]overtake them.
10 When it is My desire, I will chasten them.
(C)Peoples shall be gathered against them
When I bind them [c]for their two transgressions.
11 Ephraim is (D)a trained heifer
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim [d]pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”
