Hosea 11:12-12:2
English Standard Version
12 [a] Ephraim (A)has surrounded me with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks with God
and is faithful to the Holy One.
12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
and pursues (B)the east wind all day long;
they multiply (C)falsehood and violence;
(D)they make a covenant with Assyria,
and (E)oil is carried to Egypt.
The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah
2 (F)The Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
he will repay him according to his deeds.

And oil is brought to Egypt.

And will punish Jacob (E)according to his ways;
He will repay him according to his deeds.
