4:9 I will deal with the people and priests together:
I will punish them both for their ways,
and I will repay them for their deeds.
8:9 They have gone up to Assyria,
like a wild donkey that wanders off.
Ephraim has hired prostitutes as lovers.
8:11 Although Ephraim has built many altars for sin offerings,
these have become altars for sinning!
9:17 My God will reject them,
for they have not obeyed him;
so they will be fugitives among the nations.
12:2 The Lord also has a covenant lawsuit
he will punish Jacob according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.
12:14 But Ephraim bitterly
so he will hold him accountable for the blood he has shed,
his Lord
14:6 His young shoots will grow;
his splendor will be like an olive tree,
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.
