I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast played the harlot, Israel is defiled.

以法莲为我所知；以色列不能向我隐藏。以法莲哪，现在你行淫了，以色列被玷污了。”

以法莲做了妓女，我一清二楚；以色列玷污了自己，也瞒不过我。”

我认识以法莲，以色列也瞒不住我；以法莲啊！现在你竟行淫，以色列竟玷污了自己。

以法蓮為我所知；以色列不能向我隱藏。以法蓮哪，現在你行淫了，以色列被玷污了。

我、我早就認識了以法蓮了，以色列是不能向我隱藏的；但如今呢、以法蓮哪，你竟行淫了，以色列竟被玷污了。

You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.

Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against thee, saying,

For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins— ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate from their right.

For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people:and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

When Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

Moreover Jehovah will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.For Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Jehovah to anger.And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin.

Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah- even the king of Assyria.

O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away.

The firstling of his herd, majesty is his; And his horns are the horns of the wild- ox: With them he shall push the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth: And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: howbeit his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now will the kingdom return to the house of David:if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.And he set the one in Beth- el, and the other put he in Dan.And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth- el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth- el the priests of the high places that he had made.And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth- el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to burn incense.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.Neither hath she left her whoredoms since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her.Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.

Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after man’s command.

Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning.

And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.Their drink is become sour; they play the harlot continually; her rulers dearly love shame.
