And

make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,

And increased your perfumes;
You have sent your envoys a great distance
And made them go down to Sheol.

To drink the waters of the

When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah his wound,
Then Ephraim went to Assyria
And sent to

King Jareb.

But he is unable to heal you,
Or to cure you of your wound.

But Ephraim will return to Egypt,
And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.

And pursues the east wind continually;
He multiplies lies and violence.

And oil is carried to Egypt.
