8 “Ephrayim mixes himself among the peoples, Ephrayim has become a cake unturned.
9 “Strangers have devoured his strength, but he does not know it. Grey hairs are also sprinkled on him, and he does not know it.
10 “And the Excellency of Yisra’ĕl did witness to his face, but they did not return to יהוה their Elohim, nor did they seek Him for all this.
11 “And Ephrayim has become a simple dove without heart, they have called on Mitsrayim, they have gone to Ashshur.
12 “When they go I spread My net over them, I bring them down like the birds of the heavens, I chastise them as their congregation has heard.
13 “Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, because they have transgressed against Me! And I Myself have ransomed them, yet they have spoken falsehoods against Me,
14 and did not cry out to Me with their heart when they wailed upon their beds. For grain and new wine they assemble themselves; they turn away from Me.
