8 Israel is aswallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a bvessel in which no one delights.
9 For they have gone up to aAssyria
Like ba wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has chired lovers.
10 Even though they hire allies among the nations,
Now I will agather them up;
And they will begin bto diminish
Because of the burden of the cking of princes.
