Hosea 8:7-8

New Living Translation

⁷“They have planted the wind
    and will harvest the whirlwind.
The stalks of grain wither
    and produce nothing to eat.
And even if there is any grain,
    foreigners will eat it.
⁸The people of Israel have been swallowed up;
    they lie among the nations like an old discarded pot.
