Hosea 11:12-12:2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 [a]Ephraim has surrounded me with lies
and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks[b] with God
and is faithful to the Holy One.(A)
12 Ephraim herds the wind
and pursues the east wind all day long;
they multiply falsehood and violence;
they make a treaty with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.(B)
The Long History of Rebellion
2 The Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.(C)
Hosea 11:12-12:2
International Standard Version
12 [a]“Ephraim surrounds me with lies,
and the house of Israel surrounds me[b] with deceit,
But Judah still rules with God,
and remains faithful, along with the godly ones.”
Israel’s Sin
12 [c]“Ephraim feeds on the wind,
chasing after the eastern winds,
storing up lies and desolation day after day.
They are making a contract with the Assyrians,
and sending oil to Egypt.
2 The Lord accuses Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
he will repay him for what he does.
