9. Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.
10. The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11. Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment of man.
12. And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13. When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.
14. For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, I will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
15. I will go away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
