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;

Nor have they sought Him, despite all this.

“Ephraim compromises with[a] the nations;
    he’s a half-baked cake.[b]

10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against him;[c]
    but they do not return to the Lord their God,
        nor seek him in all of this.
