^(C1)When Ephraim ^(F1)spoke, there was trembling. He ^(C2)exalted himself in Israel, But through ^(C3)Baal he incurred guilt and died.

And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves ^(C1)cast metal images, Idols ^(F1)(C2)skillfully made from their silver, All of them the ^(C3)work of craftsmen. They say of them, "Let the ^(F2)people who sacrifice kiss the ^(C4)calves!"

Therefore they will be like the ^(C1)morning cloud And like dew which ^(F1)soon disappears, Like ^(C2)chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor, And like ^(C3)smoke from a chimney.
