8Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel in which none delights.
9For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers.
10Yes, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes.
11Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been to him for sinning.
12I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing.
13As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Yahweh doesn`t accept them: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
14For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall devour the castles of it.
