11 When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin, they became altars for sinning.

12 Though I write for him my many instructions, they are considered like a stranger’s.

13 They love sacrifice, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their guilt and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
