For now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
Now] There is somewhat in this word, it is a great Emphasis: Even still Ephraim goes on in wickedness; he hath gone on a great while, and even now when I am coming against him, even now he continueth in his wickedness. From thence the Note is:
In what He finds them for the present, He will deal with them for that especially. Not but that when he finds them in evil for the present, He will call them to an account for all things that are past too; but He points Himself at them as they are in their present ways.
