Hosea 12:1-3

New Catholic Bible

¹ Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,
    and the house of Israel with deceit.
But Judah still remains aligned with God
    and is faithful to the Holy One.
² Ephraim chases the wind,
    ever pursuing the east wind throughout the day.
Numerous are his lies and treachery;
    he makes a treaty with Assyria
    while sending oil to Egypt.
³ The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah;
    he will punish Jacob as his conduct deserves;
    he will requite him according to his deeds.
