Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;
    Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Foreigners devour his strength,
    but he does not know it;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,

    yet they do not return to the Lord their God
    or seek him, for all this.(B)

Even his hair is streaked with gray,
but he does not notice.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,[a](C)
yet they do not return to Yahweh their God,(D)
and for all this, they do not seek Him.
