以法莲以风为食物，终日追逐东风，增添虚谎和残暴，与亚述立约，也把油送到埃及。

Ephraim feeds on the wind; he pursues the east wind all day and multiplies lies and violence. He makes a treaty with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.

The people of Ephraim look to others for help. It’s like chasing the wind. The wind they keep chasing is hot and dry. They tell more and more lies. They are always hurting others. They make a peace treaty with Assyria. They send olive oil to Egypt to get help.

以法蓮用虛謊，以色列家用詭詐包圍著我；猶大還是與神對抗，就是對抗那可信可靠的至聖者。”（本節在《馬索拉文本》為12:1）

風要捲走你所有的牧人，你的盟友要被擄去；那時，因你的一切惡行，你必蒙羞受辱。

看哪！葡萄樹被栽種了，但它能發旺嗎？東風吹襲它的時候，它不是必然枯乾嗎？它必在生長的苗床上枯乾。’”

以法蓮看見自己的疾病，猶大家看見自己的創傷，以法蓮就往亞述去，派人去見亞述的大王。可是他卻不能醫治你們，也不能醫好你們的創傷。

以下是論南地野獸的默示：他們把財富馱在驢駒的背上，把寶物馱在駱駝的峰上，經過艱難困苦之地，就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇和會飛的火蛇出沒的地方，到一個對他們毫無益處的民族那裡去。埃及的幫助是徒然的，是虛幻的，因此我稱它為“坐而不動的拉哈伯”。

亞述王普勒來攻打以色列地，米拿現給普勒三萬公斤銀子，請普勒幫助他堅固王位。

後來，亞述王發覺何細亞陰謀反叛：他曾派使者去見埃及王梭，並且不再向亞述王獻上貢物，像過去每年一樣。亞述王就拿住他，把他囚在牢裡。亞述王上來攻擊以色列全國各地，並且到撒瑪利亞來，圍城三年。何細亞在位第九年，亞述王佔領了撒瑪利亞，把以色列人擄到亞述去，安置他們在哈臘，在哈博河和歌散河一帶，以及在瑪代人的各城。

他們播種的是風，收成的是暴風。生出來的苗沒有麥穗，不能做成麵粉；即或做成麵粉，也必被別國的人吞吃。
