9 For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.
10 But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.
11 For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.
12 I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.
13 They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.
