Hosea 8:7-8
New Living Translation
7 “They have planted the wind
and will harvest the whirlwind.
The stalks of grain wither
and produce nothing to eat.
And even if there is any grain,
foreigners will eat it.
8 The people of Israel have been swallowed up;
they lie among the nations like an old discarded pot.
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.
