Hosea 11:12 - 12:2

Ephraim surrounds Me with lies

And the house of Israel with deceit;

And Judah is also unruly against God,

Even against the Holy One who is faithful.

Ephraim feeds on wind

And pursues the east wind continually;

He abounds in falsehood and destruction.

Moreover, he cuts a covenant with Assyria,

And oil is carried to Egypt.

And Yahweh has a contention with Judah

And will punish Jacob according to his ways;

He will cause everything to return to him according to his deeds.
