9. Ephraim will become empty at the time of punishment. I, God, warn the families of Israel that this really will happen.
10. The leaders of Judah are like thieves trying to steal someone’s property, so I will pour out my anger on them like water.
11. Ephraim will be punished. He will be crushed and pressed like grapes, because he decided to follow filth.
12. I will destroy Ephraim as a moth eats a piece of cloth. I will ruin Judah, like rot on a piece of wood.
