¹⁰ And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.

²⁹ And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.

⁵ For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

² But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.

³ So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.

⁸ Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.

⁷ So I will be like a lion to them; as a cruel beast I will keep watch by the road;

⁸ I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.

¹³ When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.

¹⁴ For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.

³ For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.

³⁶ This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

³⁷ For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

²⁶ So I will have your skirts uncovered before your face, in order that your shame may be seen.

²² And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.

¹⁷ The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen.

²¹ Certainly the evil-doer will not go free from punishment, but the seed of the upright man will be safe.

²² Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
