11 Ephraim is oppressed,
    he is crushed in judgment;
    Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,
    and to the house of Judah like rottenness.

13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
    and Judah his wound,
    Then Ephraim went to Assyria,
    and sent to king Jareb:
but he is not able to heal you,
    neither will he cure you of your wound.
