Hosea 7:11

Ephraim's Guilt

¹⁰ Though the pride of Israel testifies against him,
Yet they have not returned to the Lord their God,
Nor have they sought Him, for all this.
¹¹ So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense;
They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
¹² When they go, I will spread My net over them;
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
I will chastise them in accordance with the proclamation to their assembly.
