Ephraim [shall say]: ‘What have I to do any more with idols?’ As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; From Me is thy fruit found.
Rashi on Hosea
Ephraim will say, “What more do I need to follow the images?” And they will turn away from idolatry. I will answer him I will answer him from his trouble.
