Ephraim is himself (A)thrown about with the [a]nations;
Ephraim has become a round loaf not turned over.
(B)Strangers devour his strength,
Yet he (C)does not know it;

Yet (E)they have not returned to the Lord their God,
Nor have they sought Him, despite all this.

  1. Hosea 7:8 Lit peoples

E′phraim mixes himself with the peoples;
    E′phraim is a cake not turned.

    yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
    nor seek him, for all this.
