Hosea / Question
Question source
Hosea
Hosea describes Ephraim as going to Assyria and making a covenant, while also sending oil to Egypt Hosea 12:1. The verse presents these alliances as empty and deceitful dealings.
1Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he continually multiplies lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
