13 When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
Ephraim went to Assyria(A)
and sent a delegation to the great king.[a](B)
But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.(C)
14 For I am like a lion to Ephraim(D)
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart.(E)
I will carry them off,
and no one can rescue them.(F)
15 I will depart and return to My place
until they recognize their guilt and seek My face;(G)
they will search for Me in their distress.(H)
