The Lord Announces the Verdict against Israel

“Listen to this, you priests!
    Pay attention, nation of Israel!
    Open your ears, royal family!
    This is my decision about you.
    You set traps at Mizpah
    and spread out nets on Mount Tabor.
You are deeply involved in sin.
    So I will punish all of you.[a]
I know Ephraim,
    and Israel isn’t a stranger to me.
    Now, Ephraim, you are acting like a prostitute,
    and Israel is unclean.[b]
