以法蓮像鴿子一樣愚蠢無知，他們向埃及求救，又投奔亞述。

「以法蓮以風為食，整天追逐東風，虛謊和暴力日益增多；他跟亞述結盟，向埃及進貢橄欖油。」

他們投奔亞述，就像孤獨漂泊的野驢。以法蓮收買情人。

耶和華說：「你們的創傷無法醫治，你們的傷口無法痊癒。

你們的盟友都忘了你們，對你們漠不關心。我要像你們的仇敵一樣擊打你們，殘酷地懲罰你們，因為你們罪大惡極，罪過無數。你們為何因自己無法醫治的創傷而哭泣呢？因為你們罪大惡極，罪過無數，我才這樣懲罰你們。

我們不再向亞述求救，不再依靠戰馬，也不再稱自己所造的神像為我們的上帝。耶和華啊，只有在你那裡，孤兒才能得到憐憫。」

因為撒瑪利亞的創傷無法救治，已經禍及猶大，直逼我百姓的城門，直逼耶路撒冷。

那時，亞哈斯王派人到亞述王那裡求援。原來以東人又來攻打猶大，擄掠民眾。非利士人也入侵丘陵和猶大南方的城鎮，攻佔了伯·示麥、亞雅崙、基低羅，以及梭哥、亭拿、瑾鎖和三城周圍的村莊，並住在那裡。
