¹³ “When Ephraim^(A) saw his sickness,
    and Judah his sores,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria,^(B)
    and sent to the great king for help.^(C)
But he is not able to cure^(D) you,
    not able to heal your sores.^(E)

¹⁴ For I will be like a lion^(A) to Ephraim,
    like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces^(B) and go away;
    I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.^(C)
