12. But I am like a moth to Ephraim,and like dry rot to the house of Judah.
13. When Ephraim saw his sickness,and Judah his wound,then Ephraim went to Assyria,and sent to the great king. But he is not able to cure youor heal your wound.
14. For I will be like a lion to Ephraim,and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away;I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.
15. I will return again to my place,until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,and in their distress earnestly seek me.
