גַּם כִּֽי־יִתְנוּ בַגּוֹיִם עַתָּה אֲקַבְּצֵם וַיָּחֵלּוּ מְּעָט מִמַּשָּׂא מֶלֶךְ שָׂרִֽים
Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes.

For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin. .
אכתוב־לוֹ רבו תּֽוֹרָתִי כְּמוֹ־זָר נֶחְשָֽׁבוּ
Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger’s.
זִבְחֵי הַבְהָבַי יִזְבְּחוּ בָשָׂר וַיֹּאכֵלוּ יְהוָה לֹא רָצָם עַתָּה יִזְכֹּר עֲוֺנָם וְיִפְקֹד חַטֹּאותָם הֵמָּה מִצְרַיִם יָשֽׁוּבוּ
As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, For the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; They shall return to Egypt.
