Ephraim is oppressed,

he is crushed in judgment,

because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.

12

Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,

and to the house of Judah like rottenness.

and Judah his wound,

then Ephraim went to Assyria,

and sent to King Jareb:

but he is not able to heal you,

neither will he cure you of your wound.

and like a young lion to the house of Judah.

I myself will tear in pieces and go away.

I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
