Verse 2 is found in chapter 12 of Hosea. Ephraim feeds on wind and multiplies lies and violence while seeking alliances with Assyria and Egypt. The accusation again shows the futility of trusting foreign powers. God also presents a legal dispute against Judah. The chapter connects the contemporary situation with Jacob’s ancestral identity in order to interpret national behavior in light of its own history.

Ephraim weidet sich am Winde und läuft dem Ostwind nach und macht täglich der Abgötterei und des Schadens mehr; sie machen mit Assur einen Bund und bringen Balsam nach Ägypten.
Pleito tiene Jehová con Judá para visitar a Jacob conforme a sus caminos: pagarale conforme a sus obras.
Jehová tiene una querella contra Judá y castigará a Jacob conforme a sus caminos; le retribuirá conforme a sus obras.
L'Eternel est aussi en contestation avec Juda, Et il punira Jacob pour sa conduite, Il lui rendra selon ses oeuvres.
Il Signore ha bene anche lite con Giuda; ma egli farà punizione sopra Giacobbe, secondo le sue vie; egli gli renderà la retribuzione secondo le sue opere.
O SENHOR também com Judá tem contenda, e castigará Jacó segundo os seus caminhos; segundo as suas obras o recompensará.
耶和華指控 猶大 , 要照 雅各 所行的懲罰他, 按他所做的報應他。
