12 Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth,
And to the house of Judah (A)like rottenness.

13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah saw his (B)wound,
Then Ephraim went (C)to Assyria
And sent to King Jareb;
Yet he cannot cure you,
Nor heal you of your wound.

12 But I am like a maggot to Ephraim
    and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
13 And when Ephraim saw his illness,
    and Judah his wound,
Ephraim went to Assyria,
    he sent to the great king.[a]
But he was unable to cure you
    and heal your wound.
