1Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for thou hast gone a -whoring from thy God; thou hast loved gifts upon every threshing-floor.
1Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

7The days of vengeance are come, the days of thy recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of thine iniquities thy madness has abounded.
7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
8The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God.
8The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

13Ephraim, [even] as I saw , gave their children for a prey; yea, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter.

3For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord; what then should a king do to us?
4and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.
4They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

9O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins.

13Wherefore have ye passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? ye have eaten false fruit; for thou hast trusted in thy sins, in the abundance of thy power.
13Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

15thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.
15So shall Beth–el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
