4:17 Ephraim has attached himself to idols;
Do not go near him!
8:3 But Israel has rejected what is morally good;
so an enemy will pursue him.
8:11 Although Ephraim has built many altars for sin offerings,
these have become altars for sinning!
13:12 The punishment of Ephraim has been decreed;
his punishment is being stored up for the future.
14:1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for your sin has been your downfall!
