Hosea 8:7-8
Christian Standard Bible

7 Indeed, they sow the wind(A)
and reap the whirlwind.(B)
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.(C)
Even if they did,
foreigners would swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up!(D)
Now they are among the nations
like discarded pottery.(E)

Hosea 8:7-8
Common English Bible

7 Because they sow the wind,
        they will get the whirlwind.
    Standing grain, but no fresh growth;
        it will yield no meal;
    if it were to yield,
        strangers would devour it.

Bargains, apostasy, and coming punishment

8 Israel is swallowed up;
        among the nations, they are now
        like a useless jar.
