13  And I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals

when she ^bburned offerings to them

and adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,

and went after her lovers

and ^cforgot me, declares the Lord.

1  When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;

he was exalted in Israel,

but he incurred guilt through Baal and died.

2  And now they sin more and more,

and make for themselves metal images,

idols skillfully made of their silver,

all of them the work of craftsmen.

It is said of them,

“Those who offer human sacrifice ^ukiss ^vcalves!”
