Hosea 8:10

Israel Rejects The Good

⁹ For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
¹⁰ Even though they hire allies among the nations,
Now I will gather them up;
And they will begin to diminish
Because of the burden of the king of princes.
¹¹ Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,
They have become altars of sinning for him.
