Hosea 8:7-8
New American Standard Bible

7 For (A)they sow wind
And they harvest a (B)storm.
The standing grain has no [a]kernels;
It yields (C)no [b]grain.
If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it.

8 Israel has been (D)swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a (E)vessel in which no one delights.

Hosea 8:7-8
New English Translation

The Fertility Cultists Will Become Infertile

7 They sow the wind,
and so they will reap the whirlwind!
The stalk does not have any standing grain;
it will not produce any flour.
Even if it were to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it all up.
8 Israel will be swallowed up among the nations;
they will be like a worthless piece of pottery.
