        the days of judgment have arrived;
    Israel cries,
        “The prophet is a fool,
        the spiritual man is mad!”
    Because of your great wickedness,
        your rejection of me is great.

    looking over Ephraim,
    yet a hunter’s trap is set, covering all his ways,

    he will remember their wickedness;
        he will punish their sins.
