1 “Listen to this, you priests!
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter,
3 I know Ephraim,
4 Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God,
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face.
6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD,
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD;
8 “Blow the cornet in Gibeah,
9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark.
11 Ephraim is oppressed,
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,
13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
14 For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,
15 I will go and return to my place,
