I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rot to the people of Judah.

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.

But I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like dry rot to the house of Judah.

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.

I will destroy Israel as a moth consumes wool. I will make Judah as weak as rotten wood.

I will be like a lion to Israel, like a strong young lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces! I will carry them off, and no one will be left to rescue them.

So I am like rot to Ephraim  and like decay to the house of Judah.

For I am like a lion to Ephraim  and like a young lion to the house of Judah. Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart.  I will carry them off, and no one can rescue them.

Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

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.

Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth, And to the house of Judah like rottenness.

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them and go away; I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.

“Brutal Ephraim is himself brutalized— a taste of his own medicine! He was so determined to do it his own worthless way. Therefore I’m pus to Ephraim, dry rot in the house of Judah.

“I’m a grizzly charging Ephraim, a grizzly with cubs charging Judah. I’ll rip them to pieces—yes, I will! No one can stop me now. I’ll drag them off. No one can help them. Then I’ll go back to where I came from until they come to their senses. When they finally hit rock bottom, maybe they’ll come looking for me.”

Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim, And like rottenness to the house of Judah.

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, yes I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be no one to rescue.

Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim And like dry rot to the house of Judah [in My judgment against them].

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear to pieces and go on [tearing]; I will carry off [the prey] and there will be no one to rescue them.

I will be like a moth to Ephraim, like wood rot to the house of Judah.

I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear them to pieces, then I will carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them!
