Hosea 5:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment,
    because he was determined to go after vanity.^[a]
12 Therefore I am like maggots to Ephraim,
    and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
¹³ When Ephraim saw his sickness,
    and Judah his wound,
then Ephraim went to Assyria,
    and sent to the great king.^[b]
But he is not able to cure you
    or heal your wound.
