Hosea 8:7-8

New Century Version

⁷ “Israel’s foolish plans are like planting the wind,
    but they will harvest a storm.
Like a stalk with no head of grain,
    it produces nothing.
Even if it produced something,
    other nations would eat it.
⁸ Israel is eaten up;
    the people are mixed among the other nations
    and have become useless to me.
