Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah:
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is (found) in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-- ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate (from their right).
