They shal not dwel in ye Lords land: but Ephraim shall returne to Egypt, and they shall eat vncleane things in Assyria. |
|

All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickednesse of their doings I will driue them out of mine house, I will loue them no more: all their princes are reuolters. |

Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp, they shall beare no fruite: yea though they bring foorth, yet wil I slay euen the beloued fruite of their wombe. |
|
| 9:17 |
My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken vnto him: and they shalbe wanderers among the nations. |
