Israel’s Defeat because of Sin

Israel, you have sinned
since the days of Gibeah;(A)
they have taken their stand there.
Will not war against the unjust
overtake them in Gibeah?
10 I will discipline(B) them at my discretion;(C)
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bondage[a]
for their double iniquity.(D)

11 Ephraim is a well-trained calf(E)
that loves to thresh,
but I will place a yoke on[b] her fine neck.(F)
I will harness Ephraim;(G)
Judah will plough;
Jacob will do the final ploughing.
