Hosea 5:12–13

12 I am like a moth to Ephraim,

like rot to the people of Judah.

13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,

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.

12 But I am like a moth to Ephraim,

and like dry rot to the house of Judah.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,

and Judah his wound,

then Ephraim went to Assyria,

and sent to the great king.

But he is not able to cure you

or heal your wound.

12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth,

And to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,

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.

12 I will destroy Israel as a moth consumes wool.

I will make Judah as weak as rotten wood.

13 “When Israel and Judah saw how sick they were,

Israel turned to Assyria—

to the great king there—

but he could neither help nor cure them.

12 Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth,

And to the house of Judah like rottenness.

13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,

And Judah saw his wound,

Then Ephraim went to Assyria

And sent to King Jareb;

Yet he cannot cure you,

Nor heal you of your wound.

12 I am like a moth to Israel,

like a rot to the people of Judah.

13 “When Israel saw its illness

and Judah saw its wounds,

Israel went to Assyria for help

and sent to the great king of Assyria.

But he cannot heal you

or cure your wounds.

12 Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.

12 And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.

12 I will destroy Ephraim as a moth destroys clothing. 

I will destroy the nation of Judah as rot destroys wood. 

13 “When Ephraim saw that he was sick 

and when Judah saw his own wounds, 

Ephraim went to Assyria to ask the great king for help.

But the king couldn’t cure them or heal their wounds. 

12 So I am like rot to Ephraim

and like decay to the house of Judah.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness

and Judah his wound,

Ephraim went to Assyria

and sent a delegation to the great king.

But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.

12 Therefore I am like maggots to Ephraim

and like rottenness to the house of Judah.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness

and Judah his wound,

then Ephraim went to Assyria

and sent to the great king.

But he is not able to cure you

or heal your wound.

12 Ephraim, I will be like a moth to you.

Judah, I will cause you to rot away.

13 “Ephraim, you saw how sick you were.

Judah, you saw that you were wounded.

Ephraim, you turned to Assyria for help.

You sent gifts to the great King Tiglath-Pileser.

But he is not able to make you well.

He can’t heal your wounds.

12 Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim

And like rottenness to the house of Judah.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,

And Judah his wound,

Then Ephraim went to Assyria

And sent to King Jareb.

But he is unable to heal you,

Or to cure you of your wound.
