4:17 Ephraim has attached himself to idols;
Do not go near him!
6:8 Gilead is a city full of evildoers;
its streets are stained with bloody footprints!
8:9 They have gone up to Assyria,
like a wild donkey that wanders off.
Ephraim has hired prostitutes as lovers.
28:1 The splendid crown of Ephraim’s drunkards is doomed,
the withering flower, its beautiful splendor,
situated
the crown of those overcome with wine.
6:16 You implement the regulations of Omri,
and all the practices of Ahab’s dynasty;
you follow their policies.
Therefore I will make you an appalling sight,
the city’s
and nations will mock all of you.”
