- "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 birds of the air. 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 lies against me.
- They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail upon their beds. They gather together for grain and new wine but turn away from me.
- I trained them and strengthened them, but they plot evil against me.
