7. For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8. Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
9. For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10. Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11. Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
