Hosea 11:12-12:2
New King James Version
God’s Charge Against Ephraim
12 “Ephraim has encircled Me with lies,
And the house of Israel with deceit;
But Judah still walks with God,
Even with the [a]Holy One who is faithful.
Ephraim’s Sins Rebuked by God
12 “Ephraim (A)feeds on the wind,
And pursues the east wind;
He daily increases lies and [b]desolation.
(B)Also they make a [c]covenant with the Assyrians,
And (C)oil is carried to Egypt.
2 “The(D) Lord also brings a [d]charge against Judah,
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
According to his deeds He will recompense him.
