9 Porque ellos subieron á Assur, asno montés para sí solo: Ephraim con salario alquiló amantes.

10 Aunque alquilen á las gentes, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.

11 Porque multiplicó Ephraim altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.

12 Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, [y] fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.

13 En los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron: no los quiso Jehová: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán á Egipto.
