Hosea 11:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “The Israelites will become captives again, as they were in Egypt.
    The king of Assyria will become their king.
    This is because they refuse to turn to God.
⁶ War will sweep through their cities.
    It will destroy them,
    because of their wicked plans.
⁷ My people have made up their minds
    to turn away from me.
The prophets call them to turn to me.
    But none of them honors me at all.
