12 Therefore I am like a (A)moth to Ephraim,
And like rottenness to the house of Judah.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah his [a]sore,
Ephraim then went to (B)Assyria
And sent word to [b](C)King Jareb.
But he is (D)unable to heal you,
Or to cure you of your [c]sore.

12 So I am like rot to Ephraim(A)

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
Ephraim went to Assyria(B)
and sent a delegation to the great king.[a](C)
But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.(D)
