Hosea 11:12-12:2

12 Ephraim surrounds me with lies,(A)
the house of Israel, with deceit.
Judah still wanders with God
and is faithful to the holy ones.[a]
God’s Case against Jacob’s Heirs
12 Ephraim chases[b] the wind(B)
and pursues the east wind.(C)
He continually multiplies lies and violence.
He makes a covenant with Assyria,(D)
and olive oil is carried to Egypt.(E)
2 The Lord also has a dispute with Judah.
He is about to punish Jacob according to his conduct;(F)
he will repay him based on his actions.
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.
God’s charge against Judah
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.
