10
The princes of Yehudah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
11
Efrayim is oppressed, He is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12

14
For I will be to Efrayim like a lion, And like a young lion to the house of Yehudah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
15
I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, And seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
