\v 1 "When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
|
|
|
|
|
\q He exalted himself in Israel,
|
|
|
|
|
\q but he became guilty because of Baal worship, and he died.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 Now they sin more and more.
|
|
|
|
|
\q They make cast metal figures from their silver,
|
|
|
|
|
\q idols as skillfully worked as possible,
|
|
|
|
|
\q all of them the work of the craftsmen.
|

\q like the chaff that is driven by the wind away from a threshing floor,

\v 6 When you had pasture, then you became full;

|
\q and when you were filled, your heart became lifted up.
|
|

\q For that reason you forgot me.
