12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.

13 And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.

14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I -- I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.

12 I am like a moth(A) to Ephraim,
    like rot(B) to the people of Judah.

    and Judah his sores,
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,
    like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces(I) and go away;
    I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.(J)
