Hosea 11:12-12:2

Common English Bible

^12 [a] Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,
        the house of Israel with faithless acts;
        but Judah still walks with God,
        and is faithful to the holy one.

12 ^[b] Ephraim herds the wind,
        and pursues the east wind all day long;
    they multiply lies and violence;
        they make a treaty with Assyria,
        and oil is carried to Egypt.
² The Lord has a charge against Judah,
        and will punish Jacob according to his ways,
        and respond to him according to his deeds.
