³ I know Ephraim,
    and Israel is not hidden from me.
Despite this, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot,
    and Israel is defiled.
⁴ Their deeds do not allow them
    to return to their God.
For the spirit of immorality has possessed them,
    and they no longer know the Lord.
⁵ Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;
    Ephraim stumbles in their guilt,
    and Judah stumbles with them.
