Hosea 8:8

Israel Rejects The Good

⁷ The people of Israel plant the wind, but they harvest a storm. A field of grain that does not ripen will never produce any grain. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would eat it all. ⁸ Israel is swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one delights.
⁹ The people of Israel went to Assyria. They were like wild donkeys wandering off alone. The people of Ephraim sold themselves to their lovers.
