9. Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
10. The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11. Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he began to go after filthiness.
12. And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like rottenness to the house of Juda.
13. And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not be able to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.
14. For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion's whelp to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away, and there is none that can rescue.
15. I will go and return to my place: until you are consumed, and seek my face.
