Ephraim is himself (A)thrown about with the [a]nations;
Ephraim has become a round loaf not turned over.
(B)Strangers devour his strength,
Yet he (C)does not know it;
Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him,
Yet he does not know it.
10 Though the (D)pride of Israel testifies against him,
Yet (E)they have not returned to the Lord their God,
Nor have they sought Him, despite all this.
