11 Ephraim was like a dove,

silly, ⌊without sense⌋;k

they call to Egypt,

they go to Assyria.

12 Just as they go, I will cast my net

over them;

I will bring them down

like the birdsl of the heavens;m

I will discipline them

according to a report to their assembly.n

13 Woe to them, because they have strayed from me!

Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me!

I myself would redeem them,

but they speak lies against me.

14 They do not cry out to me from their heart,

but they wail on their beds;

because of grain and new wine they lacerateo themselves;

they depart from me.

15 And I myself trained

and strengthened their arms;

but they plan evil against me.

16 They turn, not to the Most High,p

like a slack bow;

their officials will fall by the sword

because of the anger of their tongue.

This is their scornq

in the land of Egypt.
