8 Ephraim mixes himself
with the nations;
Ephraim is a bread cake
not turned over.
9 Foreigners devour[a] his strength,
and he does not know it;
mold[b] is also sprinkled upon him,
and he does not know it.
10 The pride of Israel testifies against him[c]—
they do not return to Yahweh their God;
they do not seek him for all of this.[d]
