1. Ephraim continually feeds on the wind;he chases the east wind all day;he multiplies lies and violence.They make treaties with Assyria,and send olive oil as tribute to Egypt.
2. The Lord also has a covenant lawsuit against Judah;he will punish Jacob according to his waysand repay him according to his deeds.
3. In the womb he attacked his brother;in his manly vigor he struggled with God.
