When Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, And sent to king Jareb: But he is not able to heal you, Neither will he cure you of your wound.
Now they shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; for he has withdrawn himself from them ( Hsa Hosea 5:7 ).
