Mated with idols, is Ephraim, let him alone.

For, they, have gone up to Assyria, A wild ass going alone for himself, is Ephraim! They have hired lovers!

Itself also, to Assyria, shall be borne along, as a present to a hostile king, - shame, shall Ephraim receive, that Israel, may be ashamed, of his own counsel.

Ephraim, feedeth on wind, and pursueth the east wind, all the day, falsehood and force, doth he magnify, - and, a covenant with Assyria, would they solemnize, and, oil into Egypt, must be borne along.
