Hosea 8:7-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 For they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no meal;
if it were to yield,
foreigners would devour it.(A)
8 Israel is swallowed up;
now they are among the nations
as a useless vessel.(B)
Hosea 8:7-8
Lexham English Bible
7 Because they sow the wind,
they will reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain does not have heads;[a]
it will not yield flour.
And if it would yield,
strangers would devour it.
8 Israel is swallowed up;
now they are among the nations,
like an object that no one desires.
