  11. Chapter 11When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
  12. Chapter 12Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
  13. Chapter 13When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
  14. Chapter 14O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
