Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.

Why do you keep on changing your ways so much? Assyria did not help you. And Egypt will not help you either.

How much you go about, changing your way! You shall be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria.

First here, then there— you flit from one ally to another asking for help. But your new friends in Egypt will let you down, just as Assyria did before.

How unstable you are, constantly changing your ways! You will be put to shame by Egypt just as you were put to shame by Assyria.

How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah[ saw] his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

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.

And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.For Ahaz took away a portion[ out] of the house of the LORD, and[ out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave[ it] unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done:[ thou art] a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation[ that] could not save[ us].

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt[ your] confusion.For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.They were all ashamed of a people[ that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence[ come] the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people[ that] shall not profit[ them].For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength[ is] to sit still.

Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

We have given the hand[ to] the Egyptians,[ and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.

Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands,[ Ye are] our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because[ they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!Yet he also[ is] wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.Now the Egyptians[ are] men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

It shall be also carried unto Assyria[ for] a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
