¹¹ When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin,^(A)
they became his altars for sinning.

10 Israel is a lush^[a] vine;^(A)
it yields fruit for itself.
The more his fruit increased,
the more he increased the altars.^(B)
The better his land produced,
the better they made the sacred pillars.^(C)
2 Their hearts are devious;^[b](D)
now they must bear their guilt.^(E)
The Lord will break down their altars^(F)
and demolish their sacred pillars.
