10 They will follow the Lord;(A)
He will roar like a lion.(B)
When He roars,
His children will come trembling from the west.(C)
11 They will be roused like birds from Egypt
and like doves(D) from the land of Assyria.(E)
Then I will settle them in their homes.(F)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

12 [a] Ephraim surrounds me with lies,(G)
the house of Israel, with deceit.
Judah still wanders with God
and is faithful to the holy ones.[b][c]
