⁵ “Oholah played the harlot even though she was Mine;
And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring ^(A)Assyrians,

¹¹ “Ephraim^(A) also is like a silly dove, without ^[a]sense—
^(B)They call to Egypt,
They go to ^(C)Assyria.

⁹ For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like ^(A)a wild donkey alone by itself;
Ephraim ^(B)has hired lovers.

12 “Ephraim ^(A)feeds on the wind,
And pursues the east wind;
He daily increases lies and ^[a]desolation.
^(B)Also they make a ^[b]covenant with the Assyrians,
And ^(C)oil is carried to Egypt.
