Hosea 7:8-10
New King James Version
8 “Ephraim (A)has mixed himself among the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake unturned.
9 (B)Aliens have devoured his strength,
But he does not know it;
Yes, gray hairs are here and there on him,
Yet he does not know it.
10 And the (C)pride of Israel testifies to his face,
But (D)they do not return to the Lord their God,
Nor seek Him for all this.
Hosea 7:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Ephraim mixes himself
with the nations;
Ephraim is a bread cake
not turned over.
9 Foreigners devour[a] his strength,
and he does not know it;
mold[b] is also sprinkled upon him,
and he does not know it.
10 The pride of Israel testifies against him[c]—
they do not return to Yahweh their God;
they do not seek him for all of this.[d]
