Hosea 11:12-12:2
Christian Standard Bible
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
New American Standard Bible
12 [a]Ephraim surrounds Me with (A)lies
And the house of Israel with deceit;
[b]Judah is still unruly against God,
Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
Ephraim Reminded
12 [c]Ephraim feeds on (B)wind,
And pursues the (C)east wind continually;
He multiplies lies and violence.
Moreover, [d]he makes a covenant with Assyria,
And oil is brought to Egypt.
2 The Lord also has a (D)case against Judah,
And will punish Jacob (E)according to his ways;
He will repay him according to his deeds.
