3 I know all about Ephraim;

Israel is not hidden from me.

Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution;

Israel is corrupt.

4 “Their deeds do not permit them

to return to their God.

A spirit of prostitution is in their heart;

they do not acknowledge the Lord.

5 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them;

the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin;

Judah also stumbles with them.

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: For now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. 4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: For the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, And they have not known the Lord. 5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

3 I know what you are like, O Ephraim.

You cannot hide yourself from me, O Israel.

You have left me as a prostitute leaves her husband;

you are utterly defiled.

4 Your deeds won’t let you return to your God.

You are a prostitute through and through,

and you do not know the Lord.

5 “The arrogance of Israel testifies against her;

Israel and Ephraim will stumble under their load of guilt.

Judah, too, will fall with them.

3 I know Ephraim,

And Israel is not hidden from Me;

For now, O Ephraim, you commit harlotry;

Israel is defiled.

4 “They do not direct their deeds

Toward turning to their God,

For the spirit of harlotry is in their midst,

And they do not know the Lord.

5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face;

Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;

Judah also stumbles with them.

3 I know all about the people of Israel;

what they have done is not hidden from me.

Now that Israel acts like a prostitute,

it has made itself unclean.

4 “They will not give up their deeds

and return to their God.

They are determined to be unfaithful to me;

they do not know the Lord.

5 Israel’s pride testifies against them.

The people of Israel will stumble because of their sin,

and the people of Judah will stumble with them.

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast played the harlot, Israel is defiled. 4 Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not Jehovah. 5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; Israel is defiled. 4 Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah. 5 And Israel’s pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

3 I know Ephraim, 

and Israel isn’t a stranger to me. 

Now, Ephraim, you are acting like a prostitute, 

and Israel is unclean.

4 “The wicked things that the people have done 

keep them from returning to their God. 

They have a spirit of prostitution, 

and they don’t know the Lord. 

5 The people of Israel’s arrogance testifies against them. 

Israel and Ephraim stumble because of their sins, 

and Judah stumbles with them. 

3 I know Ephraim,

and Israel is not hidden from Me.

For now, Ephraim,

you have acted promiscuously;

Israel is defiled.

4 Their actions do not allow them

to return to their God,

for a spirit of promiscuity is among them,

and they do not know the Lord.

5 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them.

Both Israel and Ephraim stumble

because of their wickedness;

even Judah will stumble with them.

3 I know Ephraim,

and Israel is not hidden from me;

for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;

Israel is defiled.

4 Their deeds do not permit them

to return to their God.

For the spirit of whoredom is within them,

and they do not know the Lord.

5 Israel’s pride testifies against him;

Ephraim stumbles in his guilt;

Judah also stumbles with them.

3 I myself know Ephraim,

and Israel is not hidden from me;

because now you have played the whore, O Ephraim—

Israel is defiled.

4 Their deeds do not permit them

to return them to God.

Because a spirit of whoredom is in their midst,

they do not know Yahweh.

5 The pride of Israel testifies against him,

and Israel and Ephraim stumble in their guilt,

and Judah stumbles with them.

3 People of Ephraim, I know all about you.

What you are doing is not hidden from me.

Now you have joined yourselves to other gods.

You have made yourselves ‘unclean.’

4 “You can’t return to me

because you have done so many evil things.

In your hearts you long to act like prostitutes.

You do not recognize me as the Lord.

5 Israel, your pride witnesses that you are guilty.

People of Ephraim, you trip and fall because you have sinned.

Judah, you fall down along with them.

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me;

For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot,

Israel has defiled itself.

4 Their deeds will not allow them

To return to their God.

For a spirit of harlotry is within them,

And they do not know the Lord.

5 Moreover, the pride of Israel testifies against him,

And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;

Judah also has stumbled with them.
