Hosea 8:7-8
English Standard Version
7 For (A)they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
(B)strangers would devour it.
8 (C)Israel is swallowed up;
already they are among the nations
as (D)a useless vessel.
Hosea 8:7-8
International Standard Version
7 “Because they sow the wind,
they will reap the wind storm.
The plant has no stalk
and its bud yields no grain.
Even if there’s a harvest,
foreigners will gobble it up.
8 Israel has been devoured;
now they will live among the nations
like a worthless container.
