Hosea 7:11-13

Revised Standard Version

¹¹ E′phraim is like a dove,
    silly and without sense,
    calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.
¹² As they go, I will spread over them my net;
    I will bring them down like birds of the air;
    I will chastise them for their wicked deeds.^[a]
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
    Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
I would redeem them,
    but they speak lies against me.
