Hosea 11:12-12:2
Legacy Standard Bible
12 [a]Ephraim surrounds Me with [b](A)lies
And the house of Israel with deceit;
And Judah is also unruly against God,
Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
12 [c]Ephraim feeds on (B)wind
And pursues the (C)east wind continually;
He abounds in falsehood and destruction.
Moreover, [d]he cuts a covenant with Assyria,
And oil is carried to Egypt.
Yahweh’s Contention with Judah
2 And Yahweh has a (D)contention with Judah
And will punish Jacob (E)according to his ways;
He will cause everything to return to him according to his deeds.

Revised Standard Version
12 [a] E′phraim has encompassed me with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit;
but Judah is still known by[b] God,
and is faithful to the Holy One.
12 E′phraim herds the wind,
and pursues the east wind all day long;
they multiply falsehood and violence;
they make a bargain with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.
The Long History of Rebellion
2 The Lord has an indictment against Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways,
and requite him according to his deeds.
