Hosea 11:12-12:2
Authorized (King James) Version
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit:
but Judah yet ruleth with God,
and is faithful with the saints.
12 Ephraim feedeth on wind,
and followeth after the east wind:
he daily increaseth lies and desolation;
and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians,
and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah,
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
according to his doings will he recompense him.
