Key Passages
Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,for he is determined to follow worthless idols.
For they hear:“Order on order, order on order,line on line, line on line;a little here, a little there.”
Then the word of the LORD to them will become:“Order on order, order on order,line on line, line on line;a little here, a little there,”so that they will go stumbling backwardand will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
