8. Ephraim is mixed with the nations,Ephraim is an unturned cake.
9. Strangers have consumed his strength,but he does not know it;Gray hairs are strewn on his head,but he takes no notice of it.
10. The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him;yet they do not return to the Lord, their God,nor seek him, despite all this.
11. Ephraim is like a dove,silly and senseless;They call upon Egypt,they go to Assyria.
12. When they go I will spread my net around them,like birds in the air I will bring them down.I will chastise them when I hear of their assembly.
13. Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!Ruin to them, for they have rebelled against me!Though I wished to redeem them,they spoke lies against me.
