Exegesis
The paired objects marked by ʾet {אֶת | ʾeṯ}—khalyo {חָלְי֗וֹ | ḥālyō} ‘his sickness’ for Ephraim and mezoro {מְזֹר֔וֹ | məzōrō} ‘his wound’ for Judah—form a compact parallelism; Judah’s “seeing” is implied by ellipsis, tightening the parallel and keeping the focus on the shared crisis.
Root and etymology
ח־ל־הchet–lamed–heh
“be sick”
In context — Hosea 5:13
Ephraim noticed his sickness, and Judah his wound; so Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to King Jareb. Yet he could not heal you, and he could not cure your wound.
