This chapter has a few good scriptures about how God uses his prophets and continues to speak to Israel (Ephraim) about their wickedness.
Verse 1
Saying that "Ephraim feedeth on wind" is saying that they are believing things and putting their faith in things that have no substance. Their covenant with Assyria is also mentioned along with the tribute they pay to Assyria. Israel put their faith into a powerful nation and not the Lord.
Verse 10 & 13
Verse 10 is a great verse that describes how God uses prophets. He tells us clearly that "I have spoken by the prophets...". In verse 13, he describes actual events in which he used the prophets, referring to the Exodus and generally speaking, in preserving Israel.
