12 But I am (A)like a moth to Ephraim,
    and (B)like dry rot to the house of Judah.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
    and Judah (C)his wound,
then Ephraim went (D)to Assyria,
    and sent to the great king.[a]
(E)But he is not able to cure you
    or heal (F)your wound.
14 For I will be (G)like a lion to (H)Ephraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of (I)Judah.
(J)I, even I, will tear and go away;
    I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.

then Ephraim turned to Assyria,(D)
    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,
