Hosea 8:9-10
Christian Standard Bible
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(A)
like a wild donkey going off on its own.
Ephraim has paid for love.(B)
10 Even though they hire lovers among the nations,
I will now round them up,
and they will begin to decrease in number(C)
under the burden of the king and leaders.(D)
Hosea 8:9-10
Common English Bible
9 They have gone up to Assyria,
a wild ass wandering alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Though they have bargained with the nations,
I will now gather them up.
They will soon be diminished
due to the burden of kings and princes.
