9 Strangers devour his strength,and he knows it not;gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,and he knows it not.
10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the Lord their God,nor seek him, for all this.
11 Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense,calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
12 As they go, I will spread over them my net;I will bring them down like birds of the heavens; I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregation.
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them,but they speak lies against me.
14 They do not cry to me from the heart,but they wail upon their beds;for grain and wine they gash themselves;they rebel against me.
15 Although I trained and strengthened their arms,yet they devise evil against me.
