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
International Standard Version
7 “Because they sow the wind,
they will reap the wind storm.
The plant has no stalk
and its bud yields no grain.
Even if there’s a harvest,
foreigners will gobble it up.
8 Israel has been devoured;
now they will live among the nations
like a worthless container.
