Hosea 12:1-2
Expanded Bible
12 ·What Israel does is as useless as chasing [L Ephraim feeds on] the wind;
he chases the east wind all day [Eccl. 1:14, 17; 2:11, 17, 26].
They ·tell more and more lies
and do more and more violence [multiply lies and violence].
They make ·agreements [a covenant/treaty] with Assyria,
and they send ·a gift of olive oil [L oil] to Egypt [C as tribute or to gain support].
2 The Lord also has ·some things [a case/lawsuit; or a dispute; 4:1] against Judah.
He will punish ·Israel [L Jacob] for what they have done;
he will ·give [repay] them ·what they deserve [according to their deeds].
