Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD , because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Ephraim 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.
