Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 10-11 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
    • B 12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
      • C 13a When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound,
        • D 13b then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb:
      • C' 13c yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
    • B' 14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
  • A' 15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
