⁹ For ^(A)they have gone up to Assyria,
    ^(B)a wild donkey wandering alone;
    Ephraim has hired lovers.

12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
    and pursues ^(A)the east wind all day long;
they multiply ^(B)falsehood and violence;
    ^(C)they make a covenant with Assyria,
    and ^(D)oil is carried to Egypt.
