Hosea 11:5-7
New King James Version
5 “He shall not return to the land of Egypt;
But the Assyrian shall be his king,
Because they refused to repent.
6 And the sword shall slash in his cities,
Devour his districts,
And consume them,
Because of their own counsels.
7 My people are bent on (A)backsliding from Me.
Though [a]they call [b]to the Most High,
None at all exalt Him.

5 “Will they not return to Egypt(A)
and will not Assyria(B) rule over them
because they refuse to repent?(C)
6 A sword(D) will flash in their cities;
it will devour(E) their false prophets
and put an end to their plans.
7 My people are determined to turn(F) from me.(G)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
