From the
days of
Gibeah you have
sinned, O
Israel;
There they
stand! Will not the
battle against the
sons of
iniquity overtake them in
Gibeah?

When it is My
desire, I will
chastise them; And the
peoples will be
gathered against them When they are
bound for their
double guilt.

Ephraim is a
trained heifer that
loves to
thresh, But I will
come over her
fair neck with a yoke; I will
harness Ephraim,
Judah will
plow,
Jacob will
harrow for himself.

Sow with a view to
righteousness,
Reap in
accordance with
kindness;
Break up your
fallow ground, For it is
time to
seek the
LORD Until He
comes to
rain righteousness on you.

You have
plowed wickedness, you have
reaped injustice, You have
eaten the
fruit of
lies.
Because you have
trusted in your
way, in your
numerous warriors,
