11 Ephraim will soon be crushed.
    The Assyrians will stomp all over them.
It will happen because they have made up their minds
    to chase after other gods.
12 I will be like a moth to Ephraim.
    I will cause Judah to rot away.

13 “The people of Ephraim saw how sick they were.
    The people of Judah saw that they were wounded.
Then Ephraim turned to Assyria for help.
    They sent gifts to the great King Tiglath-Pileser.
But he is not able to make you well.
    He can’t heal your wounds.
