Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 7a The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; ISRAEL shall know it:
- B 7b the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude OF THINE INIQUITY,
  - C 7c and the great HATRED.
    - D 8a The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways,
  - C' 8b and HATRED in the house of his God.
- B' 9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember THEIR INIQUITY, he will visit their sins.
A' 10 I found ISRAEL like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
