and Judah his sores,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria,
and sent to the great king for help.
But he is not able to cure you,
not able to heal your sores.
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces and go away;
I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.
15 Then I will return to my lair
until they have borne their guilt
and seek my face—
in their misery
they will earnestly seek me.”

And Judah saw his wound,
Then went Ephraim to the Assyrian,
And sent to king Jareb:
Yet could he not heal you,
Nor cure you of your wound.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion,
And as a young lion to the house of Judah:
I, even I, will tear and go away;
I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
15 I will go and return to my place,
Till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face:
In their affliction they will seek me early.

like a strong young lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces!
I will carry them off,
and no one will be left to rescue them.
15 Then I will return to my place
until they admit their guilt and turn to me.
For as soon as trouble comes,
they will earnestly search for me.”

Till they acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”

You will suffer so much
that you will really want me to help you.”

And like a young lion to the house of Judah.

Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
