67  He rejected the tent of ^pJoseph;

he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

17  ^qEphraim is joined to idols;

^rleave him alone.

3  ^bI know Ephraim,

and Israel is not hidden from me;

for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore;

Israel is defiled.

9  Ephraim shall become a desolation

in the day of punishment;

among the tribes of Israel

I make known what is sure.

4  What shall I do with you, ^gO ^hEphraim?

What shall I do with you, O ^hJudah?

Your love is ⁱlike a morning cloud,

ⁱlike the dew that goes early away.

1  Ephraim feeds on the wind

and pursues ^zthe east wind all day long;

they multiply ^yfalsehood and violence;

^athey make a covenant with Assyria,

and ^boil is carried to Egypt.
