Israel’s arrogance testifies against him, but despite all this he does not return to the Lord his God or search for him.“ Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless— now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria.When they go, I will throw my net over them; I will pull them down like the birds in the sky. When I hear them flocking together, I will catch them.Woe to them, because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them but they speak about me falsely.They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail on their beds. They slash themselves, appealing to their gods for grain and new wine, but they turn away from me. (niv)
