9 For they went up to Assur, Ephraim a wild ass alone to himself: they hired those loving. 10 Also if they will hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and shall they be weak a little from the lifting up of the king of the princes. 11 Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, altars were to him to sin. 12 I will write to him his multitude of my instructions; they were reckoned as a strange thing. 13 The sacrifices of my gifts they will sacrifice flesh, and they will eat; Jehovah delighted not in them; now will he remember their iniquity, and he will review their sins: they shall turn back to Egypt. 14 And Israel will forget him making him, and he will build temples; and Judah multiplied fortified cities: and I sent a fire upon his cities and it will consume its palaces.
