on the right hand
, and
be
hungry; and

shall
eat on the left hand
, and
they shall
not be
satisfied :

every
man
the flesh of his own arm:

, and Ephraim Manasseh; together
they turn
against Judah. Despite

His hand is still upraised
.
Manasseh, Ephraim;
and Ephraim ,
Manasseh; and
they together
shall
be
against Judah. For
all this his anger is not turned away ,
but
his hand is stretched
out
still.
