⁶⁷ He rejected the tent of ^(A)Joseph;
    he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

^17 (A)Ephraim is joined to idols;
    ^(B)leave him alone.

^3 (A)I know Ephraim,
    and Israel is not hidden from me;
for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;
    Israel is defiled.

⁹ Ephraim shall become a desolation
    in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
    I make known what is sure.

⁴ What shall I do with you, ^(A)O ^(B)Ephraim?
    What shall I do with you, O ^(C)Judah?
Your love is ^(D)like a morning cloud,
    ^(E)like the dew that goes early away.

12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
    and pursues ^(A)the east wind all day long;
they multiply ^(B)falsehood and violence;
    ^(C)they make a covenant with Assyria,
    and ^(D)oil is carried to Egypt.
