Hosea 7:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 Ephraim has become like a silly dove.[a]
He cannot decide where to go.
The Israelites ask Egypt to help them.
Then they decide to ask Assyria instead.
12 When they fly around like that,
I will throw my net over them.
I will catch them like birds that fly in the sky.
I will punish them as they join together to do evil things.
13 Terrible trouble will happen to them,
because they have gone away from me.
They have turned against me, so they will die.
I wanted to rescue them,
but they have told lies about me.
Footnotes
- 7:11 Doves sometimes fly around without any purpose. The Israelites had become like that. It was easy for other countries to fight against them.
