Hosea 11:12-12:2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 [a]Ephraim has surrounded me with lies
and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks[b] with God
and is faithful to the Holy One.(A)
12 Ephraim herds the wind
and pursues the east wind all day long;
they multiply falsehood and violence;
they make a treaty with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.(B)
The Long History of Rebellion
2 The Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.(C)

and respond to him according to his deeds.
