Hosea 12:1

Ephraim continually feeds on the wind; he chases the east wind all day; he multiplies lies and violence. They make treaties ¹  with Assyria, and send olive oil as tribute ²  to Egypt.

2Ki 15:19; 2Ki 17:4-6; Job 15:2; Isa 30:6,7; Jer 22:22; Ho 5:13; Ho 8:7; Ho 11:12

¹ tn Heb “a treaty” (so NIV, NRSV); KJV, NASB “a covenant”; NAB “comes to terms.”

² tn The phrase “as tribute” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity. Cf. NCV “send a gift of olive oil.”
