Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations.
    Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
Strangers have devoured his strength,
    and he doesn’t realize it.
Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him,
    and he doesn’t realize it.

    yet they haven’t returned to Yahweh their God,
    nor sought him, for all this.

Even his hair is streaked with gray,

10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,[a](C)
yet they do not return to the Lord their God,(D)
and for all this, they do not seek him.
