The Curse of the Incurable Wound
5:12 I will be like a moth to Ephraim , like wood rot to the house of Judah .
5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound , then Ephraim turned to Assyria , and begged its great king for help. But he will not be able to heal you! He cannot cure your wound !
The Lion Will Carry Israel Off Into Exile
5:14 I will be like a lion to Ephraim , like a young lion to the house of Judah . I myself will tear them to pieces , then I will carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them!
5:15 Then I will return again to my lair until they have suffered their punishment . Then they will seek me ; in their distress they will earnestly seek me.
