Hosea 7:8-16 - Israel And The Nations
8 Therefore must Ephraim be mixed among the Heathen. Ephraim is become like a cake that no man turneth: 9 Strangers have devoured his strength, yet he regardeth it not: he waxeth full of gray hairs, yet will he not know it. 10 And the pride of Israel is cast down before their face, yet will they not turn to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Ephraim is like a dove, that is beguiled, and hath no heart. Now call they upon the Egyptians, now go they to the Assyrians: 12 but while they be going here and there, I shall spread my net over them, and draw them down as the fowls of the air. And according as they have been warned, so will I punish them.
13 Woe be unto them, for they have forsaken me. They must be destroyed, for they have set me at naught. I am he that have redeemed them, and yet they dissemble with me. 14 They call not upon me with their hearts, but lie howling upon their beds. Whereas they come together, it is but for meat and drink, and me will they not obey. 15 I have taught them, and defended their army, yet do they imagine mischief against me. 16 They turn themselves, but not aright, and are become as a broken bow. Their princes shall be slain with the sword for the malice of their tongues, such blasphemies have they learned in the land of Egypt.
