Hosea 12:1-2
New Living Translation

12 [a]The people of Israel[b] feed on the wind;
    they chase after the east wind all day long.
They pile up lies and violence;
    they are making an alliance with Assyria
    while sending olive oil to buy support from Egypt.

2 Now the Lord is bringing charges against Judah.
    He is about to punish Jacob[c] for all his deceitful ways,
    and pay him back for all he has done.
