Ephraim shall receive shame

Ephraim shall receive shame.

Hierom upon the place has this tradition of the Jews (I'll but name it to you): he says (that it was received among them) that the priests of the calves had taken away the golden calves and put up calves of brass instead of them and only gilt them over with gold, and now the king of Israel when he was in straights sent these calves to king Jareb for a present to pacify his anger, now when he had sent these calves the king of Assyria made account that they were calves of gold, but afterwards when he found that they were of brass, he sent messengers to the king of Israel to tell him how he had but cozened him, and upon that, Oh the king and all the people were ashamed. But this is but a tradition of theirs, and not very probable. But this I rather take to be the truth of it.
