God is talking about Israel and Judah.

Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit

This means that Ephraim (the house of Israel) has continually lied and been dishonest with Yahweh. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood

AT: "Ephraim has constantly told lies to me" (UDB) (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

But Judah is still going about with me, God, and is faithful to me, the Holy One

Even though Judah has rebelled at times, they are still following Yahweh. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
