12 Therefore I am like a moth to Efrayim
and like rottenness to the house of Y’hudah.
13 When Efrayim saw his sickness
and Y’hudah his wound,
Efrayim went to Ashur
and sent envoys to a warring king;
but he can’t heal you
or cure your wound.

and like a young lion to the house of Y’hudah —
I will tear them up and go away;
I will carry them off, and no one will rescue.

    and sent to the great king for help.(E)
But he is not able to cure(F) you,
    not able to heal your sores.(G)
14 For I will be like a lion(H) to Ephraim,

I will tear them to pieces(I) and go away;
    I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.(J)
