Hosea 7:8-11

English Standard Version

⁸ Ephraim ^(A)mixes himself with the peoples;
    Ephraim is a cake not turned.
^9 (B)Strangers devour his strength,
    and ^(C)he knows it not;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
    and ^(D)he knows it not.
^10 (E)The pride of Israel testifies to his face;^{[a]
    (F)}yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
    nor seek him, for all this.

¹¹ Ephraim is like a dove,
    ^(G)silly and without sense,
    calling to ^(H)Egypt, going to ^(I)Assyria.
