13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah saw his (A)wound,
Then Ephraim went (B)to Assyria
And sent to King Jareb;
Yet he cannot cure you,
Nor heal you of your wound.
14 For (C)I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(D)I, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
15 I will return again to My place
Till they [a]acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
