Hosea 7:8-10
English Standard Version
8 Ephraim (A)mixes himself with the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 (B)Strangers devour his strength,
and (C)he knows it not;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
and (D)he knows it not.
10 (E)The pride of Israel testifies to his face;[a]
(F)yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
nor seek him, for all this.

Hosea 7:8-10
New Living Translation
8 “The people of Israel mingle with godless foreigners,
making themselves as worthless as a half-baked cake!
9 Worshiping foreign gods has sapped their strength,
but they don’t even know it.
Their hair is gray,
but they don’t realize they’re old and weak.
10 Their arrogance testifies against them,
yet they don’t return to the Lord their God
or even try to find him.
