Hosea 7:10-16
New International Version
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against him,(A)
but despite all this
he does not return(B) to the Lord his God
or search(C) for him.
11 “Ephraim is like a dove,(D)
easily deceived and senseless—
now calling to Egypt,(E)
now turning to Assyria.(F)
12 When they go, I will throw my net(G) over them;
I will pull them down like the birds in the sky.
When I hear them flocking together,
I will catch them.
13 Woe(H) to them,
because they have strayed(I) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(J) falsely.(K)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(L)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(M)
but they turn away from me.(N)
15 I trained(O) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(P) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(Q)
they are like a faulty bow.(R)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(S) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(T)
in the land of Egypt.(U)
