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.
Efraín persigue el viento y va tras el viento del este; todo el día multiplica mentiras y violencia. Hacen pacto con Asiria, y llevan aceite a Egipto.
Efraín busca cosas vanas y multiplica engaños mientras hace alianzas políticas contradictorias.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Hosea was speaking to the Northern Kingdom of Israel, often referred to as Ephraim, during a time of political turmoil and spiritual unfaithfulness. Israel was forming unreliable alliances with foreign powers like Assyria and Egypt in a desperate bid for security, which Hosea criticized as futile and deceptive, symbolizing their pursuit of empty winds that led to moral decay and eventual judgment. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's people turning away from covenant faithfulness to chase after idols and human strategies.
