⁷ I brought you into a plentiful land
    to eat its fruits and its good things.
But when you entered you defiled my land
    and made my heritage an abomination.^(A)

¹¹ Ephraim has become like a dove,
    silly and without sense;
    they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.^(A)

¹³ Though they offer choice sacrifices,^[a]
    though they eat flesh,
    the Lord does not accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity
    and punish their sins;
    they shall return to Egypt.^(A)
