11 “Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,

these have become altars for sinning.

11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin,

Altars shall be unto him to sin.

11 “Israel has built many altars to take away sin,

but these very altars became places for sinning!

11 “Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin,

They have become for him altars for sinning.

11 “Although Israel built more altars to remove sin,

they have become altars for sinning.

11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning.

11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

11 “The more altars that the people of Ephraim build 

to make offerings to pay for their sins, 

the more places they have for sinning. 

11 When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin,

they became his altars for sinning.

11 When Ephraim multiplied altars to expiate sin,

they became to him altars for sinning.

11 When Ephraim multiplied altars

to expiate sins,

they became to him altars to sin on.

11 “Ephraim built many altars where they sacrificed

sin offerings to other gods.

So their altars have become

places where they commit sin.

11 Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,

They have become altars of sinning for him.
