The prophet is a sentinel for my God over Ephraim,
yet a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,
    and hostility in the house of his God.
They have deeply corrupted themselves
    as in the days of Gibeah;

    he will punish their sins.

    and consecrated themselves to a thing of shame,
    and became detestable like the thing they loved.
