12 I will destroy Ephraim as a moth eats a piece of cloth.
    I will ruin Judah, like rot on a piece of wood.
13 Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound,
    so they went to Assyria for help.
They told their problems to the great king,
    but he cannot heal you or cure your wound.
14 I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
    like a young lion to the nation of Judah.
I—yes, I myself—will rip them to pieces.
I will carry them away,
    and no one can save them.

14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
