The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter.(A)
    I will discipline all of them.(B)
I know all about Ephraim;
    Israel is not hidden(C) from me.
Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;
    Israel is corrupt.(D)

    to return(E) to their God.
A spirit of prostitution(F) is in their heart;
    they do not acknowledge(G) the Lord.

Toward turning to their God,
For (D)the spirit of harlotry is in their midst,
And they do not know the Lord.
