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.
