8
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which [is] no pleasure.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10
Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11

12
I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
13
They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat [it]; [but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
