8. Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
9. For they--they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
10. Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
11. Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
12. I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
