Because of the acalf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
And1 its priests shriek for it—
Because its bglory has departed from it.
As a present for King aJareb.
Ephraim shall receive shame,
And Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
cThey shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
There they stood.
The bbattle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
Did not1 overtake them.
aPeoples shall be gathered against them
When I bind them1 for their two transgressions.
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”
Reap in mercy;
aBreak up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He bcomes and rains righteousness on you.
