7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
